Finally got my PSS9’s installed and I have say that it is by far the best mod you can do. The car not only looks so much better but the ride is better that I expected. I have them set in the middle of the road right now, the handling is unbelievable under steer seems gone.

Don,

Cars look great. I had the same "wow" when I put mine on, and that was two years ago! I still get goose bumps when I crank her into a corner. And if you every track it, be prepared for perma-grin
BTW, what swaybars do you have? The 22mmfront/22mmrear are superb compliments to the PSS9s, are direct bolt-ons, and inexpensive (especially if you scrounge them up used. Highly recommended

Edward, let me pick your brain here. I'll be putting HDs and H&R in and I have 4 different bars to chose from: Stock C2 20mm and 17mm and stock US Turbo 22mm and 19mm. What do I use? 20/19 or 22/19? I'll probably go with 225/255 tires.

Based on previous discussions with Viken it appears that 20/19 would be a better setup for a street car, but I'm still not sure...

 

Edward,
IIRC, aren't the euro turbo sways 22f/21r?


Mike- I'd recommend 20/19 based on the selections you have to work with. I had mine set up w/ 20/20 at one point in my sway bar quest and really liked that combo before ending up with the 22/21 euro TT combo I have now.

 

Yes, I'm leaning to 20/19 at this point. If I don't like it, I can always put 22mm bar in. But something tells me that 20/19 would balance teh car better with my choice of suspension and tire.

We'll see. No time to do anything right now, damn it. Just think and plan.

 

We have a little group buy thing going if anyone is interested.

Hi Mike,

Just me, but I would definitely not go with the 20mm front bar when the 22mm is readily available and little/no diff in price. Given a 22mm front, I would opt for either the 20mm rear (US M030), or even better is the 21mm from the RoW Turbo (as Kelly had referenced). I had the 22/20 and it was nice ...really. But once I replaced the rear to the 21mm, turn-in improved, understeer disappeared, and the car is absolutely neutral with my 225s/255s on OE 17" Cups. On the track, I could easily induce oversteer or understeer given driver input; very neutral and confidence inspiring and the perfect compliment to the PSS9s, IMHO. Of course one could go to more expensive adjustable sways, but I just can't justify the huge cost difference in what is essentially a street car that sees the track (as opposed to a track car that sees the street). Oh yeah, you could always do the 20/19, but then you'd probably just end up doing them again later. I'd just hold off. Hope this helps.

I put PSS9s on my 993 about three years ago and after about a year or so they started to make a racket, squeeking and popping. I added the 40mm roller bearings and the noise decreased, but did not totally stop. After a month or two it is loud again. Just a warning and a request for some help.

Jim,
Have you spoken to Bilstein about this? PSS9s have a lifetime warrenty.
