Default Best place to order PSS-10's from

I did a little searching, and the best place I can find to order from is Tirerack.com. Is this true? Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Stuart

I got my pss10s from viperbob last year. His price was comparable to tirerack at the time.
I got all the other little plastic bits and pieces from Sunset, but Bob can get them for you too. It would have probably been simpler that way.
He also sent me some mounting instructions, but the Online Suspension DIY Post is perfect anyways!

I would give him a call first, but tirerack is good too. You can't really go wrong with any of our sponsors.

Cheers,

Check with ViperBob. He's in Florida (last time I checked), and his prices are very competitive. He can also set you up with new sways and droplinks. Here is a link to his profile here:

+1 for site sponsors Steve Weiner at RennSport Systems (http://www.rennsportsystems.com/) can help you out as well. You can count me in the long list of Steve's satisfied customers.

I did some calling to find out who had them for what. I ended up getting mine from Tirerack, it doesn't hurt to a have a wholesale account with them.

Steve W is the man.

Tire rack might be cheaper - but you dont get the same sort of service from them...

Justa happy customer!

+993. I haven't actually ordered anything from Steve yet as I've only had my 993 a short time, but given how much time he spends here dispensing very useful, free advice (both publicly and through PMs) and his intimate knowledge of these cars, I'd much rather spend a bit more to put some sheckels in his pocket than line the coffers of a big outfit like Tire Rack. Just my 2 cents...

+1 on Viper Bob. I ordered my PSS-10s from him and he was excellent.

+3 on Steve Weiner of Rennsport Systems.

You will find that his accessibility by phone is extremely useful--even if you don't do the install yourself, if the installers have even the slightest technical question Steve is just a call away and can offer proper advice to be sure your install goes smoothly.

No affiliation, just a happy customer since 2002.

Broken record......Viperbob.

My mechanic had a question about the part as the car was on the lift, and called me. I called Viperbob's number, told the receptionist about it, and she got Viperbob to talk to the mechanic directly. Problem solved. And his price was better than Tirerack's (although TR price was also very good).

I had googled long and hard before settling on Viperbob's PSS10, and found a few unknown shops selling PSS10 for a hundred dollars less, but I doubt they would have gotten on the phone so quickly to solve my problem.

After the hell I went through with my KW's, I would pay a little more to go with someone who gives service. Thankfully the guy who sold me the KW's was not only cheaper than normal, but had the service. But if shipping messes the coilovers up, you don't want to be stuck trying to figure out what to do completely on your own. Its worth it!
