spend the extra on the pss9 for the adjustability, it is definitely worth it. |

if you are ever going to track the car you should get the adjustable pss9. on the track you will want the ride to be much firmer than on the street. |

Go for the pss9. Ever get a lady in your car? You're going to want the smooth as shit ride. I could give a rats ass about how stiff it is, but I do care for the passengers. Especially if you do long road trips.
Try a 3 hour drive as a passenger in your friends FD on full stiff TEIN SS coilovers and you'll know why.

I have the PSS's.They are a great setup but there are times I would like to have the option of adjusting the dampening (for performance or comfort). If you can afford the PSS-9’s definitely do it. |
