whats softer? eibach prokit or H&R's?

 

hey ludeatic you already know how I feel about my system....also the h&r only drops .75 inches and maybe settle to 1 inch which I don't feel will be a noticeable drop....just my 2cents

 

I had Eibach with stock shocks and now have Bilstein PSS9. The Bilsteins are light years ahead, truly an amazing improvement in both ride and handling.

The PSS9's are stiffer than AP2, but still comfortable on the street at setting 8 and really stiff for the track when cranked to setting 1.

 

Have you had any problems with your PSS9's ? I have read that allot of people are experiencing noise with their coilovers. Have you experienced any noise from yours? I am looking at getting the PSS9's as I was told that they are very good, but I thought I would check with you about them since you are actually running them on your car. Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated! How hard to install/setup? How long/hard was it to get them dialed in? Did you have to wait a week or so before you had the car aligned? Did you have it corner balanced? Do you have any pictures of your car? Thanks!

 

Have you had any problems with your PSS9's?

==No problems. The spare tire is very close to hitting the adjustment knob on the right rear shock, I might try spacing it up a little to prevent that.

I have read that allot of people are experiencing noise with their coilovers. Have you experienced any noise from yours?

==No noise, follow the instructions carefully and you won't have a problem. The early kits may not have had a spacer that is now included.

How hard to install/setup?

==See my signature for details on my install.

How long/hard was it to get them dialed in?

==Getting the initial ride height was the most difficult part, but if you go by my set-up recommendations in my sig it may save you most of the trouble. Setting the dampening is easy, just turn the knob.

Did you have to wait a week or so before you had the car aligned?

==You don't change any of the alignment settings when you replace the shocks. It would only need to be changed if you made a big change in the ride height, mine was so close to what it was before that I didn't need to have it re-aligned.

Did you have it corner balanced?

==No, I considered it but couldn't justify the cost for mostly street driving.

Do you have any pictures of your car?

==Keep in mind that you can set the height any way you want. See the PSS9 link in my signature for photos after the installation.

 

Thanks for sharing the great info!
