Car seems very well planted and level in turns, and ride is firm, but not harsh. I may try the softer settings and see how that goes.. Overall, very happy with them, especially since I only paid $1k for them, and they were jsut freshly rebuilt.

4/5 for both is where I run them for DD. If you go with 6-9 (softer settings) its a bit too soft IMO.

Thanks Codgi, I will try the on the 4/5 settings and see how it feels. Yeah Seto, I got a pretty good deal on them, thats what made me get these over the mr/swift combo. It was either these freshly rebuilt coilovers for 1k or mr struts for 550 plus swift spec-r's for 300 (850 total). To me, that extra 150 bux for the pss9 was a wash and would rather have the tuneability of a coilover. I am happy with my decision.

I got a used set of PSS9's with some custom revalving done and swift springs a while back. Great setup, I'm really liking it even around town. I don't track the car often though, but I do autox religiously and they are perfect for that.
