Post Thanks Curtis - '97 Targa for a great ride!

This board is the best. Thanks Curtis for letting me drive your Targa with Bilstein PSS-9s. They really lock you into those sweepers.

For those that don't know Curtis -- I am proud to report that he ensures his speedometer sees the triple digits at least once a day. True p-car enthusiast.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the note Phil. Looking forward to those clear lenses. Your auction didn't last long, did it!

You bet Curtis.

It's either Bilstein HDs with ROW M030 springs or Bilstein PSS-9s. Prices are really close. I am leaning toward the PSS-9s since they seem to be the gold standard. It's still $2k and a full weekend of effort to install. Then an alignment at Reeves which probably ain't free.

But where's the fun in just replacing with stock shocks. Got to get some upgrade for the effort.

I may go with some of those tires we discussed to save cash and then I can do tires and suspension both this fall. (All too expensive for a Christmas gift from my CFO.)

Anyway -- thanks for the firsthand experience so I could compare. Drove hard tonight with all the glass open and the wife and I loved it.

Whooo Hoooo.
