Congrats.
thanks vu!

did you install them yourself? how difficult was it? how long?... i just can't wait... it's only monday... saaaaaaaaaaaaaks!

any tips would be greatly appreciated. biggrin.gif
well i took it to a shop and got it done fast with the equipments they had.

its doesn't seem hard to install but i was lazy and i wanted it done quick lol.

i should say around 1-2 hrs for install by yourself at home. and doing the front is easy but the rear seems a bit challenging imo.

ok so the guy i bought the pss9s from didn't send the spanner wrenches with them and has since said he sent them separately but refuses to respond to PMs and email, and won't give me a tracking number. i think he probably never sent them and is planning on saying "they got lost in the mail". anyway, could someone please check out the spanner wrenches that came with their pss9s and let me know what size they are. i'm going to go to the store and buy some and file a claim with paypal for the cost. im freaking tired of scraping and need to adjust my height. im also waiting to get an alignment until i get the height set so i've been driving around for the last couple of weeks with a bad alignment.

i'm going to refrain from mentioning him by name for now. if another week goes by and nothing arrives then i'm filing the claim with paypal and i'll get on the forums to warn people about him.

so, i finally installed my pss9's last week. everyone's contribution really helped a lot. unbolting the fuel line really helped.

here's the pic after a week of settling:



i know, i know that it's dirty, but the weather hasn't helped. i'll wash them this weekend.

i'll raise it about 1/4 inch b/c i scrape bottom and lip when i enter/exit my parking structure. after that my new wheels and alignment.

Probably shox.com. The cheapest I found was from there for 1350 shipped.

Height: the Bilstein link in my sig has info on the height setting with measurements.

Dampening: For the street I run mine on 7 up front, 8 in the rear.
