am jumping of the cliff with ss9s any one know best setting for lower front and a close to stock ride?? loved the ride in an 86 but the 01 ride pre ss9s has spoiled me ...

 

I have mine set on 4 for my TT cabriolet. The ride is very much like stock right now. Very smooth and almost not sporty enough for me. I am changing to 2 in back and 3 in front as soon as I can get it to a dealer.

 

I have mine set at 2/3 front/back

 

Baghdad probably has smoother streets than my area. I've run 7F/6R for about 3000 miles. Very comfortable, but not the ultimate handler. I may move to 5F/4R and see how my rides degrades. At my current settings, my TT is a more comfortable commute than my Audi S4.

I think you might want to keep the front one click softer than the rear to help with the understeer. At least that's what 2 race shops advised me.

Cheers,

PS If you want to get an idea of how the damper rates change, check out Bilstein's home site in Germany, select English, and surf around. You will see the graphs for a VW but I believe the relationship from 1 to 9 is very similar for any PSS9 system.

 

I have the FVD version of PSS9s and have them set at 4/4...very nice.

Doug, why are you going to the dealer to change settings? Takes about 10 minutes on the cab.

 

i have mine set 4/4 on my tt cab, i have tried 6/4 F/Rand 5/4 F/R, and found 4/4 to be the best all around ride quality for my taste
