Stay tuned for a review on these PSS10 coil overs..
Keep in mind my car did have KW's so I can give an aspect on both views for buyers.
Would love to hear your thoughts comparing The PSS10's to your KW clubsports. Not many have had both.

Love the car, by the way!

Thanks!

I had V1's but here are some differences when you unbox them:

KW Pros:
Nice little tool pouch
Uses OEM position for rear droplinks

Bilstein Pros:
Preset
Includes rear droplinks

Now here are the driving dynamic differences, the KW's do feel more plush on the rough LA Roads. But higher speed driving under load you can put more weight on the Bilstein's. Maybe with a swap of springs that'll help KW but I never tried.
I run the Bilstein's at 5/4.
The car handles bumps remarkably well; the car doesn't float or wander. and the steering feel is much improved as I did walrods while I was at it (Hit up Fister motorsports) or the local shop that did it for me in LA is a reseller for them.

On older PSS10's and 9's they didn't assemble the sway bar link mount properly but after feedback Bilstein has fixed it which is a huge thumbs up as they want it to be ready for the consumer to use.

I hope to have the car at auto club speedway soon and hope to report back...

RS uprights would be nice upfront; but I also need to start saving for a house

Great looking car Jay J....

Here is an article that was written for European Car magazine when I installed KW Clubsports, replacing PSS9's.

Just read this for the first time. Very cool!

Got loads of questions! Maybe we could PM?

Cheers.
