I think after doing some reading and the advice of previous posters that PSS is the better choice. The knobs don't really do much besides give you something to adjust your shocks with different rebound.

This site provided some good reading on why the Bilstein PSS is a good choice over all the other coilovers.

Heres the PSS kit. I ordered on the 3rd and got them on the 8th of this month. Got them for $791 after coupon SAVEMORE.

Ordered mine last night. Price went up a bit, but I spoke with "Felix" on Live Chat and he got me the PSS kit for $800 shipped. Will install next Saturday and update as I go.

Copy & pasted from a PM I sent another member yesterday:

Go on Autopartswarehouse.com and click Live Chat on the top. I told them last night that I had a 10% coupon (SAVEMORE) that previously brought them to $792 shipped, but the coupon expired and asked if there was anything they could do. The guy I spoke with last night was named Felix. He offered me them for $800 shipped and took my order right over Live Chat, and they shipped today.

So I was messing around on AutoPartsWarehouse.com's website and it looks like the Black Friday coupon is already active. I guessed the coupon code, and it is BLACKFRIDAY.

The coupon is 20% off with a minimum order of $200. It does have restrictions to a lot of manufacturers, including Bilstein!

I've been waiting for this deal, but it looks like it's not going to work out.

Anyways, I decided to go with the PSS9s and did it through the Live Chat also. The guy I got was willing to give me 10% off, easily but I wasn't content with that so I had to negotiate with the guy. In the end, I got them for $1200 shipped, which isn't too great, but that's because it's including CA tax.

Good luck guys.

Yeah I didn't think the 20% off code would work, that's why I didn't bother waiting - the last labor day code or whatever didn't work. The PSS9s were 1161 shipped before, so I think you did pretty well.

Wait what they are available on that site now!?! I checked two weeks ago and they didn't stock them.
