Some new Bilstein PSS9s



Supposedly tested on the 'Ring!



I'll have them corner-weighted and balanced w/ alignment soon hopefully
Cosmo has been my arch-nemisis, so I'll see if I can kick his ass next season, lol.

Someone is only an arch nemesis if you can actually beat them sometimes

OOOH it's on! But I probably won't be driving the S2000 much next season.

I have PSS9s on my daily-driven 4-door autotragic M3. Very nice setup, and I like them as well as the Tein RSs on my S. Are yours going on an S2000? What spring rates did they put on them if so? Congrats -- you're really going to like them. One of the best setups I've seen around. If I'd have had the PSS9s on my M3 when I was considering my Teins, I'd have had a hard time deciding.

S2000 -- they're 345F/290R. Reason I picked them b/c they seemed to actually have put thought into their spring rates unlike the JDM counterparts. Keeping the rear rates the same as stock while increasing the front rates, should really help tame the natural oversteer of the S2000.

Ideally, I really wanted the KWV3s but couldn't afford them These will have to do, and I've read that the PSS9s can handle 500lb/s springs just fine if I decide to track the car more often later on.

Thanks!

Sounds like a great setup. My Tein RSs came with 500 lb/in front and rear, which made it a little twitchy until I put the big adjustable Comptech bar up front. Shock valving makes a big difference too. I was worried about the high rate, but it's very livable with the shocks set softer and firms up nicely with a couple of clicks toward firm.
