I think those are the Racing Spec dampers that Bilstein makes for Powerhouse Amuse. The bodies are probably similar/same, but I think the specs are custom made for PA.

Does anyone know what the spring rates are the for PSS9? Doing some searching in past threads indicated that they might be the same as the PSS, but it didn't seem like it was confirmed.

SHOX.COM has the Bilstein PSS for 849.00 and the PSS9's for 1,149.00. I've dealt with Shox.com several times in the past, and they've been great people. Usually some of the best pricing you can find.

I also found a pic of these on a Japanese S2000 page. Looks like Bilstein has different model coilovers in Japan.
