Hi guys,

Tracking my car (well, driving school) for the first time tomorrow. I am running Bilstein PSS9's on the car.

Does anyone know the optimal rebound settings for the PSS9's? For street use I am running 8 up front and 9 in the back.

Thanks

Bump for you!

Yeah, check the R&C FAQ, but the short answer is "don't screw with your car, just go to the track with an open mind".

Seriously, you could be driving a minivan on your first track day and it wouldn't be much different. You need to get out of the mindset of "prepping the car" and into the mindset of "learning performance driving". It's about you, not your car.

Gotcha - however I am not a beginner to the track (although I am in the S2k).

Just wondering what damper settings everyone is running on their PSS9's.

Ah, OK. That wasn't clear.

Depends on what kind of tire. However if you're running anything that's decently sticky (like RT-615's), you'll need to be on full stiff. The PSS9's are very low spring rates (like 8k all around?)...typically not high enough if you're lowered and running high performance tires.

No worries at all!

I am running RE-01R's. PSI will be about 37 all around for tire wear. Was considering running 2 in the front and 5 in the rear to help keep the rear from slipping out. Not aggressive enough I guess from what it sounds like...

Yeah definitely stiffest setting then...RE-01R's are probably the stickiest street tires (besides Yoko Advan Neovas) you can get right now.
