Default Where did you buy your PSS9?

I cant seem to find them on any sites.
I would really like to read some reviews. What kind of input can you give me on the two CO setups you have run? Since you seem to be the only person that has had both systems on the same car, any obvious pros and cons between the two setups?

Default It does depend on what you're looking for

Is the ride height an issue with you? Do you want to lower it, or just firm up the ride?

A good set of shocks like the KONI Sport Adjustables with some H-Sport sway bars will offer a considerably improvement in performance, without changing the ride height.

If you feel you want to lower the car, a set of coilovers like the H&R or Vogtland brands will offer an adjustable height option, and offer a great ride still for daily driving.

We've got a number of good options available, and we're in SoCal!. Feel free to email if you have any questions.

Default Well it's not a really a fair comparo as i bought my H&R's used and the PSS9's new but here...

are couple impressions. The PSS9's are easier to adjust for ride height. Not that you're going to be doing this a lot. The ride with the H&R's are good, the PSS9's are better. It's comparing apples to oranges. The PSS9's have adjustable dampening, so you can have the luxo ride or the race track ride. And I have used this adjustment more than I thought. If I had it to do over again, I would have spent the extra $ up front and opted for the PSS9's. You can set the ride height lower with the PSS9's without risk of rubbing on the axle. I guess this matters if you want to go really low. I'm running my car a little lower with the PSS9's than I did with the H&R's.

Default The stock, non-sport suspension on the C5 is anything but "meant to be"

god only knows what they were thinking....

Default are you in the New England area by chance?

I'd really like to check out the Vogtland coilovers.

Default Looks like a group buy on the Bilstein PSS9 coilovers is in need...

How many sets do we have to buy to get the price under $1,200? Ha!

If anyone can get a group buy started on either the H&amp;R's or PSS9's I'm in.

Default If you're going to head down, it would help me out if you could register...

<a href="http://sccaudi.com/articles.asp?id=166">registration / event info</a>

And include the number who'll be staying for lunch as well as shirt sizes so I can get shirts for you guys.

Thanks,


R

P.S. I was planning on closing registration, so if you can make it, please register today - it will make it easier from a planning perspective.

Thanks!
