I've searched and haven't really found some good insight on the topic. I guess since most of the members use Moton's or JRZ's. But for someone who will track at most 4 days in a year, woiuldn't PSS10's make sense? The price difference is quite big to ignore...about $1.8K more or less.

I ran a stage III Moton suspension for about a year and am currently running RUF PSS9's. I'm not sure how much of an improvement the 10's are over the 9's but between the 9's and Motons the difference was quite dramatic, even on the street. With that however, because you're not a track junkie i think you'll find the 10's to be a nice improvement over the stock 2 suspension. Also consider a very aggressive alignment and doing some of the "smaller" suspension pieces (toe steer kit, dog bones, etc...).

Have you considered JIC's? Alot believe them to be a good compromise between the Bilsteins and Motons, both in price and performance.

Not sure what you're planning to pay for a set of 10's but in my experience the difference in price between the 9's and Motons was north of 5k. IMO if the price difference between the two is only 2k go with the Motons.

Hi Colby,

My hesitation lies in the problem of potential leaks and how to service them being in Asia. I understand that there were a few cases of leaks surfacing. This won't be an issue in NA but in Asia this could be a nightmare.

Why keep it stock if your only doing a couple of events a year. JRZ or motons are expensive and I dont think it worth the extra money if your doing a couple of events a year, I would put the money into tires & brake pads and maybe some coaching.

Carnerd

Ya i was just going to say beware of leaks. Mine did and i only had them for a year. Have you considered JIC's?

silverboy

Thanks for the heads up on the JIC's. I'm looking at them now.

It's hard to resist when you've got the 'mad porsche disease'!

They're a great system. Some even put them close to par with the Motons.

Been there done that, I ended up buying a Gt3 cup. If I had my time over again, I would buy someone else upgraded car. Just remember to get the safety stuff first before you do the serious upgrades. - harness, etc.

I don't think you'd even notice a difference. The stock shocks are >= PSS10s or very close.

silverboy

Ya someone told me that too. This adds more weight to go the JIC route.

Jerseybean

I would go with JIC every time. I had them on my gt3 and we're putting them on my spec boxster.

silverboy

Excellente! I'll do the same then!!!

Who has best $$ for JIC's?

We put JICs on all the 964/993/996/997s anymore. They are a great setup and awesome bang for the $$$. With the custom spring rates available, you can really setup a car to the customers driving skill and intended car use. This comes from experience generally. The bi-tube shock design is a little confusing for some shops. I generally have to talk to other shops setting them up so they are installed properly.
