Default bilstein coilover pss9 ride height help

okay so i put on my pss9's on my s2k and they ride amazing although i am kinda sad that i have the springs all the way down and the tires arent tucking at all

will it lower more after it settles?

can i take out the "helper" spring(the little spring) so it would be lower?

or anything i culd take off just to get it 1/2 lower or so

any input would be great thanks!

I took off the helper springs lowered it to the max and it still wasnt really tucking it was very low though and it handled like shit so I adjusted it to about 1 finger gap all around. You should get another coilover if your looking to be slammed.

i dont really want to be slammed i just want there to be no finger gaps.

so if i take off the helper springs and play with it accordingly and get it to that point and that shouldnt be all the way down, is it going to handle and ride worse?

yes if you take off one of the locking rings it will lower it


can you post pics when you first installed it fully lowered?

So you two braniacs think that taking out the helper springs is a solution? They were engineered that way, to HAVE THE HELPER SPRINGS.

I have the PSS9s, 1/2 way dropped, and the rear tire is tucked a little bit. They will settle, and settle alot over the next 300 miles or so.
