In my opinion, the HD M030 is a little stiffer, but not unbearable. The car shows no roll and handling is definitely improved. I think the only advantage of the PSS10 is the adjustability, but if you want handling, you will end up dialing it into what HD's are; so why spend the extra $$?

I am thinking about the PSS10's and found these on tirerack. Is $2480 about the going rate for these?

I am thinking about the PSS10's and found these on Automotion. They state there are "9" positions. Is it not "10". The pricing on the kit seems reasonable.

As a side note, I attempted to use the 10% PCA discount on PSS10s from Automotion but discounts don't apply to them. However, I was offered the wholesale price of $2355 on the phone. Problem was they didn't have them in stock a few weeks back when I was buying and weren't getting them in until after 5 Sep. I was impatient and bought through Tirerack instead.

I think that they are still using the product description from the older PSS9s. The PSS10s do have 10 positions.

Just follow these instructions and you'll be set.

I used these instructions last year to install Bilstein HDs. They are very complete. A few weeks ago I installed PSS10s and it was the same as installing the HDs. I chose not to notch the brake line mount on the front struts which added a little mess for me but I was going to bleed my lines anyway.

I just installed the PSS10's and got the car back yesterday. Went with the RS + 10mm height and it is perfect! I also changed out the rear sway bar to a 19mm Andial bar and added an additional adjustment hole to the existing front bar. The difference is amazing. The nicest part of the coil over PSS10 setup is the flexibility. If, after driving the car for awhile, you feel that the car is too low (or not low enough) you can simply make the adjustment. The same with the ride comfort. In my opinion, the flexibility is worth the few extra dollars.

No not yet trying to decide what gains, if any I will get out of new sways and drop links, not sure if it's worth the money at this point since I don't track my car.
I might just go the route with the PSS10's then do new sways and drop links at a later date.

I am having the same dilemma also. I bought PSS10s from Viper Bob when he had a good deal (about the same price as Fister). I figured the flexibility was worth the extra cost. I also bought Tarrett drop links and front camber plates. The rubber boots on my drop lings were shot, so it was a good excuse to upgrade. I already have 030 sway bars, so I figure the only upgrade would be an RS-style adjustable sway bar. I think I am also going to see what gains I get out of the PSS10s and the camber plates before upgrading the sways.

Have you done your install yet?
Did you buy the Tarret drop links for the front and rear? Where did you get the camber plates from?
I'm working with a C4 so things are a bit different.

I installed a set last winter. It's a bit of work. I think the shops look for 5 or 6 hours. I changed the control arm bushings which added quite a bit of time too. I wouldn't recommend someone do it unless they had done a bit of wrenching and have the time and space. I know I split the job up into a number of evenings. I could do it in half the time now.
