Yet another glamour shot (PSS9 installed!)
Hi Folks,
Just thought I would share my 'after' pic of my car. Installed PSS9s over the July 4th week.
Custom Alignment did the alignment and corner balance to RS specs.
The car sits at about 24.5 front, 25 rear (the inaccurate but often quoted fender lip measurement)
Camber is about 1.0 front, 1.5 rear. If you're curious, I can post the corner weights too.
Enjoy,

Jauder, yep, that's the Target parking lot across from Siebel. Had to get some, eh, supplies, yeah yeah. Figured some of you BAR folks might recognize this landmark.
Corner weights (for grins):
Left Right
front 689 680
rear 1004 967
driver weight = 140 lbs
Cross 1684 50.4
Left 1693 50.7
Rear 1972 59.0
Total: 3341
Ride height as measured by CA: (front) 24 5/16 (rear) 24 7/8
I cannot recall how these settings compare with the ones posted previously so for the racers in the group, please let us know whether or not this is good to go or should be re-adjusted to improve.
Oh, the handling is what I expected and was very grateful ride quality has been preserved somewhat. It's definitely stiffer, but wow, the handling is incredible! Maybe the alignment and corner balance helped a bit too.
Looking to go to a track event later this year. Don't think I'll be able to make Thunderhill though
After doing the suspension, I am going through the whole decision process of wheels (again). Before the install, I was planning on getting the 5 spoke lightweights, but after the install, the Cups don't look too bad either.
Cheers,

No bouncy ride here. It's firm though. I'm comparing to the 9 year old/55K leaky worn out stock stuff.
What type of pavement are you experiencing the bouncy ride?

Hi Eric,
Yeah, I was really looking forward to it too! Got to get the backyard deck done.
The 'Honey-do' strikes again.
Yes, we'll have to do HMB again. That was a lot of fun!
