Depending on how much you want to lower your car, you may also want to consider JIC coil-overs. Car can be lowered more with these without problems. PSS9/10's are limited to 1 1/2 " lower without problems.

I'm pretty happy with the PSS10 setup. The Tire Rack had them for about $1700 for our cars. For the street, these seem to offer plenty of adjustment. The added benefit is that almost every tuner/tech has worked with them. Plus, there's no lack of 996TT veterans that can offer advice on tuning them.
Just be sure to find a good tuner/tech to dial them in. Also, the right alignment makes a world of difference. In my humble opinion, the first step down the "tuner" path is a revised suspension and tire setup. That always puts a grin on my face.
If you're local to Boston, I'm happy to let you check out the setup on my car. I can say that the difference is noticeable from stock. More importantly, the setup is very reasonable on Boston's glorified cow paths.
PM me if you're curious about my particular setup.

Today the car was fully inspected and test driven by the P head mechanic , he thinks all is well and the behavior I am noticing is normal and due to the car's sporty nature, following grooves/ruts etc..., he inspected everything including the shocks/tires/air pressure etc... and said no repairs or replacements are needed...afterward I met with a good local member who has the same car with high miles and he also said that the car is a tight and drives well like a great TT...he agreed with the mechanics conclusion...this is a good news and I just have to get used to driving it and adjusting to car's handling...
Thank you all for your great input & help.

How do the PSS9/10's compare to X73's ?
I fitted X73's about 700 miles ago. Ride is great, firm as I like it. Wish I could lower it a further 1/2" front & rear.

Well, problem completely fixed after I replaced the unevenly worn front tires, the tires surface were almost slightly convex and not flat. The car now drives normal without much lateral pull or play (tramlining???) even in grooved road segments, and lane changes are solid.
It passed the Route 2 test
NICE!
Interestingly enough, yesterday while driving my nephew's Cooper S with similarly worn front tires, I noticed a milder form of the same behavior.
Thank you all for your help.![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
