I have been running them for the last few months. I like them alot. if you want to slam the car, you can but if you go to low, it will rub because of the softer then JDM spring rates. But if you are looking for a reasonable drop 1/2"-1 1/2" then you should be just fine. I have the PSS9. The car handles great IMHO

you know what...I can name 4-5 JDM tuner that uses custom valved Bilstein.



I have been using PSS(new $900 shipped) for more than a year.
You can go low as no finger gap front, 0.3 finger gap rear which is pretty LOW.

Even tho it is softer than most aftermarket C/O but it is still much stiffer than stock.
Rear is very slightly underdamped IMO, but you still cant beat the value of whole system.

No regrets, if I would do it again, I would go with PSS or PSS9 again.
IMO, perfect for daily driven/street set up for excellent price.
nice review
