So, PSS9's fitted and full set of PS2 rubbers. :D

Had a little run down to Eastbourne and back today - all feeling good. Getting full geometry and weighting done on Monday, so see how much difference that makes. Also let the billies settle a little. Really pleased with the change already though!

Followed a 911 Turbo back at a "sensible" speed and 6 stayed poised through all the turns 8)

:thumbs: The PSS9s are great. So are the PS2s.

What's a 'weighting'?

Anyone have any experience with the cheaper PSS vs PSS9 ? I'm after the most comfortable coilover replacement for DRC :roll: Cornering performance not really an issue I'd expect all to be at or above DRC level and I dont need anything more while Im standing in traffic jams.

H&R are another option but seems a little hit or miss with rear ride hight from what Ive read.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.

I have heard a lot of positive feedback about the PSS, but I've never tried them myself. I think you can set the car higher with them than with the PSS9 also, but I'm not 100% sure.

I believe (but don't quote me) that they weigh each corner of the car and adjust the weight to ensure every corner is the same, thus making the car more stable... I'll find out more on Monday and get a nice print out which hopefully I'll scan in and upload here.

PS2's rock - had them on my Type-R and never ever skipped/slid round a corner, even in the wet. Aquaplaning was like a train on rails. 100% trust in them. :wink:
