PSS9s were recomended by my race shop for street and track. They were able to adjust them so that the car does beautiful four wheel drifts at the track, (just enough drift to get the slip angle advantage), and it is OK for the street. Well it's somewhat stiff and harsh, but I love it. So much for the "no good".

I find that whatever suspension the shop carries, thats what there gonna recommend and push... ultimately you have the last word...
I went with pss9, Im sure I would of been happy with 2-3 other setups... If the setup sucks...Im sure it wouldnt last in the tuner industry.

Turbo lip

I did the Turbo lip on my bumper. A bit too low at times, but worth it IMO:

Anybody got a good source on the turbo lip.Aftermarket or dealer?

John, can you post more pics of your car? The 5 spoke wheels look very cool painted black.

It's not entirely accurate to call it the Turbo lip since you can get it from the factory for the C4S as well.

It is low, but damn it looks good especially when rolling makes your car look like it's gliding over the road.

John, Thanks for the pics. Did you have your paint shop paint the center caps as well?
