Default Finally PSS9's installed!

So finally got a chance to install them today. Took me about 7 hours with 1 hour brake. Took my time and got help with friend. After taking her for a spin around the block she sits front 25" and 24.75" My ideal height will be 25" all around... Next will be some bigger spacers and this week getting her aligned. OH, anyone interested in a good set of RoW M030s springs/shocks with probably less than 2k miles? Also will have my 7 mm spacers from H&R for sale.

Here is before and after

Thanks guys! So far loving it. I have a steep drive way to my garage and no rubbing so far. Just super careful.

Philip - I have it set at 4 right now. The ride is absolutely perfect and stiff enough but not horrible. Compared to my previous RoWs I will tell you I don't really feel the harsh ride at all. Now not driven her hard yet but will

7 hours - OK so I missed (said 4) but still it wasnt like it took months of work and wasnt too hard was it....


now you have to cough up some change for corner balance and alignment...its several hundred, but worth it - nice job!

Yeah, I will drive her for about 1 week and see where I am. I just don't want to wait too long before I align her. Probably by the end of this week. Yeah, my rear links I think need to be replaced with some adjustable ones.

Yeah, I tried do it in 4, but I had a friend help and let him do 1 side and we encountered a little bit of a bump. All good, we all learned something new. Then took a 1 hour lunch. Started around 9 am and finished up around 4ish.

It will probably take you a few hundred miles before the springs settle in. My 10's moved barely at all over 500 miles (mostly city.) My mechanic said it takes almost 1000 mi before you notice any settling/changes to ride height.

I have my 10's dialed in 2 clicks from stiffest and like that quite a bit for summer/spirited driving. I run 4 clicks from stiffest during the winter. Also have Tarrett drip links and GT sway bars installed. Great upgrade for the money IMO!
