Duff0000 came over a few days ago to help install my Bilstein PSS9's...Bullitt44 stopped over so we could steal a little advice from him after he finished up at work....thanx guys
Bilstein PSS9's
Initial impression is that they are awesome I set them to 6 fronts & 7 rears (1-9, 1 being the stiffest, 9 the softest)....the rears need to brought to 6 also as it felt a little mushy...the are obviously going to be stiff, but I now understand the difference between "quality stiffness" and "subtituting stiffness for lack of quality", ie the buddy clubs I used to have...truly no comparisson, not even close.
S2KI Marketplace's write up:
A High Performance System with Sport Tuned Monotube Gas Shocks and Matched Lowering Springs Evolving from a history of worldwide racing dominance, Bilstein has developed the ultimate automotive performance suspension systems. To insure maximum performance, these systems utilize Bilstein's superior monotube gas shocks, featuring:
-Spring rates: 345 Lbs front w/85 Lbs helper springs, 285 Lbs rear
-Largest available piston diameter for greater sensitivity and precise control.
-Patented digressive piston head design and deflective valving instantly reacts to changing road conditions.
-Monotube design dissipates heat more effectively than a twin tube shock for cooler, more efficient operation and longer life.
-Lighter weight reduces wear and tear on suspension components.
The Bilstein PSS 9 Suspension provides the ultimate in performance tuning. The fully-adjustable monotube gas shock absorbers offer a selection of nine precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The front and rear springs allow accurate adjustment of the vehicle ride height for the level of performance you seek.
Now you can enjoy the kind of precise suspension tuning formerly available only on race cars. The PSS 9 system puts you in complete control. Whether it's a weekend of competition or the daily commute, absolute handling and control are just a few twists away.
Thanks Duff0000
