Wow great deal, everyone should be jumping on these at that price. Bilstein for those that don't know pissed off a lot of people last year (exactly around this time). When they raised the prices across the board on their products. Now it seems they have just lowered everything across the board. Hey it works out great for the consumer so shop away guys.

I picked up a set. Will install next week. If time permits, I`ll probably shock dyno them prior to installation. They look pretty good thus far. I work with Bilstein on a lot of OE projects, so I know the quality is there.

The install went fairly smoothly, but it's not exactly an easy job unless you have the right facilities and tools. Due to having to adjust the height 3 or 4 times it took about 6 hours from start to finish.
I've driven the car for about a week now at settings 5 (middle) and 8 (almost softest), and can report that the PSS9 kit is exactly what I was looking for. It's not too stiff on the softer settings, I think it is firmer than my 03 was stock but the Bilstein shocks dampen better than the stock shocks so the feeling is smooth and refined, not harsh. On setting 5 the ride was firm but not jarring. I haven't tried the stiffest setting yet (1) but my friend has the PSS9 on his Boxster S and says that 1 is great for the track.
Here are some photos from the install.
The package says PSS, but inside you'll find PSS9.
Very complete, the instructions are pretty good, but it helps to have someone with experience around
I shot this so I could remember the sequence in case I ever need to go back to stock.
The PSS9 kit uses some of the parts from the stock shocks.
