Bilstein manufactures and sells both the shock and the spring in the PSS9 kit. Check out www.bilstein.com for more info.

Hi:

PSS-9's use a main-tender H&R 60mm race spring package.

I was under the impression that the PSS9 kits use Hypercoil springs. The H&R coilover kits use Bilstein shocks valved for H&R.

BTW - the best place to have suspension work (including purchase) for a Porsche in the Bellevue area is www.cantrellmotorsport.com.

+1

I am guessing that the folks over at Car Nutz are quoting you $300 for the regular H&R single (lowering) springs, not the dual race springs and perches.
