Default PSS9s installed at Mike Callas -> What a transformation!

I got my PSS9 installed yesterday at Mike Callas in Sealy. Warren did a great job with the setup (extra set of locking rings) and I cannot believe how well the car handles now. It is like driving a completely different car. The setting is at full soft (9) and I did not find it less comfortable than the OEM shocks.

Now I know why this is considered the mod with the most bang for the buck. I regret that I waited almost 2 years to go this route. If you consider a suspension upgrade: Do it, you will not be disappointed.

Another happy customer at Mike Callas. Thanks Danny for recommending Mike.

I was told "not" to set my Pss9's on full soft.I was told if I did this the spring would be doing all the work ,not the shock.Any truth to this?
Thanks

LOL,..I'd concur,.....PSS-9's at #9 are underdamped and will result in some excessive body motions.

I use #8 for best ride quality.

Talking

Pics will follow over the weekend. I wanted to have RS-hight +10mm but I left it to Mike and Warren. I am not sure what I have now but I like it. The measurement will be another follow-up over the weekend.

I paid $2200 for the PSS9 @performance autoparts and an additional $1080 for the perfect installation and alignment which included putting the car on scales, balancing the front wheels ... They just did it to perfection.

If you are in the Houston area and want to have it right, go to Mike Callas.

Talking PSS9 and happy

I have now had my PSS9's for two years....bought from VB, fitted myself, RS height, ASG of Fairfax did alignment and corner balance. I agree, transformed the car and I could not be happier. Incidentally I started off on 9 but was soon playing with my ***** and am now down to 4 all round for routine driving....I do find though that as the years have gone on, it is not so easy to count the clicks and I have now started to use a mirror and light to set.
