Do the PSS9's have the external resevoir in the rears like the OEM's?

Yes.

 

Stratocaster,

Thanks for the info. How do you like it overall?

Yeah, I'll have it close to stock setting as well. It will be a bit lower than stock, but I'm not planning it to tune it aggressively unless I'm at the track.

 

Well I like them over all. It was just what I was looking for. I have had the car on the track for 8 weekends too. My last alignment was as agressive as I could get it. They run very smooth over all.

I have swapped rims , before i was running 225/45/17 all around but I'm now running 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 and the gap at the front is 1/2 finger and the rear is 1 finger.

I'm not sure about tyre wear as I take my car to track and both sides wear evenly to my surprise hence I don't need to rotate my tyres after around 4000km worth of driving inc track sessions.

Hope that helps.

I have to do alignment again after the lowering, as far as I'm concern my car handles better or the same prior to lowering my car to the lowest level.

I know Bilstein recommended 25mm drop all around, but you guys could check how Amuse setup their car with their coilover -> 15mm drop front and 45mm drop rear with -1 front camber and -4 rear camber.

I'm planning to run -2/3 f camberand -3 rear camber with 6" caster all around, 0 toe front and -4 mm toe rear.

 

because the suspension it's too soft, about the same rate like Ap2.

but anyway it is up to u, because it's ur money

 

The springs of the PSS9 are in fact close to the AP2, 06-07 spring rate. That does not make them a bad spring rate. Nor does it make them too soft. Too soft for what? Stiffer springs does not make it better.

There is the damper that you dave discounted because of the springs they selected. The damper is better then most under 3K. That is the word from someone who know this stuff.

What I am telling you is that they are not. They are great for a street and track setup. The KW3 is over kill.

 

Go read and comprehend my first post. Or just go away.


Thank you, Stratocaster.

 

I've read that you can increase the spring rate by 15-20% and still be in tolerences of the shock.

Has anyone changed the spring rate on the PSS9?

 

What are you looking to acheive by increasing the spring rate? I would drive them for awhile before screwing with the spring rates of the Bilstein-designed system. Bilstein is one of the most renowned suspension manufacturers in the world... they matched the dampers they did with the springs they did for a reason...they perform together.

If you're looking for high spring rates for no reason, you should look at Teins.
