I had some requests for additional Pics of my "new" car. Hopefully I'll get her lowered soon. I will search the database for lowering sugestions.....unless you want to volunteer any. I use the car about 50% street and 50% track (PCA Driver's Ed).

Tony,

Beautiful car. I have a black/black 96tt and am pondering the same suspension issue.

I had originally thought PSS9, but recently have been hearing some scary stories regarding quality and price issues. I have been reading about the JIC Cross competition set up and am thinking this could be my answer. They are really nice looking pieces and come with extras, such as monoballs for the basic price.

ViperBob has a suspension set with these pieces as well as upgraded front and rear sway bars. You may want to check with him.

Ahh, black is beautiful. I just washed my car this past weekend and am prepping it for either the Clearshield or Clear Armor protection in the next week or two.

Are the JIC's over kill for the road? I dont really plan to track my car as I get plenty of thrills on the motorcyle, but I'm sure its just a matter of time. I would expect a 90/10 split between road and track for me. I currently have the PSS9's, but with some of the comments lately, I'm wondering if I should have gotten JIC's.

Re. PSS9 suspension......exactly what "scary" comments are we talkin about??? Fill me in!

tjnif993t,

I have to compliment the pic of your ride. There was a time when my dream car was what your car is now. Just beautiful. Hmmm, makes me wonder if I should opt for the GT2 wing. I love the stock TT wing, but... ok, can't spend any more right now!

I haven't heard anything scary about the PSS9's. Just some limitations on the amount the Pss9's can dampen on the front and being a little soft for serious tracking, for which a set up like the JICs or the Motons are better suited. For me, its pretty academic as I want a really tight street setup w/o jarring my dash board loose. Viperbob has told me that the JICs are significantly stiffer and with that you get a higher level of suspension for cases that need it, but for the street and some "amateur" track days, the PSS9's or totally adequate.

Sweet ride. Nice spoilers!

I have heard numerous stories of problems with the pss9's. These include missing parts from kits to adjustment ***** which spin freely and don't adjust anything. While Bilstein may repair or replace the problematic parts, I have not heard of them covering the additional labor charges for removal and replacement and this is a significant item.

I like my Pss9's.....no matter what it is much better than stock.....Honestly at this point I haven't "tracked" it but..... it is pretty "STIFF" AT #6 setting for the street. Matter fact it is rather "jaw rattling" I am installing (actually my tech is installing rs sway bars) i have about 35k into it and it puts out about 500hp.....pretty respectable for bolt on "stuff" hopefully i will have time this year #=2 watkins glen to put it (or should I say me,,,) through its paces..... time is the ultimate judge......

tjnif993t:

Very nice set up!!

will you also consider to add those flare fender on it also?

tjnif993t

I thought about those flares to give it the "proper GT2" look. Are they just fastened by screws??? I just thought that it gave it a "kinda bolt on look".....Do you have other pics of your car at different angles, cause iI'm beginning to change my mind, it does look pretty good!

JWKC

yes ,its fastened by those (bolts/screws)

here are links for some of the photos of my old car ,if you are interested
