How are they holding up so far? I was wondering when or if you'd chime-in on the PSS9's.

Ah, one day I really have to break-down and have them installed. Kip and crew have been asking me when I'd do it, along with a few other items.

Hope you're enjoying the car with the new setup.

Have a good day/evening.

Hey Sir Deanski,

They're very good, and I love being able to adjust shocks 'on the fly.' I've had cockpit adjustable shocks on almost any car I can fit them on.

I'm very happy too, with Kip and 'the boys.'

I drove a 997tt though, I'm a **** for AWD turbo cars! I love it.

Good to hear from you again there big guy!

Ah.. I'm dying to install the PSS9's, but it's been so busy and I've yet to get track time. Even road time is limited for now... This blows! Figures, finally get the car I've always wanted with all the options to make it sweet and it sits in the garage. At least I'm closing in on 10K miles.

Kip and crew would love nothing more than to give my car some serious tweeks. Sure would be nice for them to have at it.

If you like that 997TT, wait till (if ever) we see a GT2 TT. Or, play with the new Tech Art tweeked 997TT. Sick *** cars...

Hope all is well!!!

Regards,
Deanski

I dont limit my browsing to the 997 forum and so maybe i have just seen more because they are discussing the same things in other areas of RennList.

Ron...dont take this personally, but you have poo poo'd lowering springs before...

https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...=PASM+lowering
http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/s...t=PASM+springs

but then you have also said they seem a good idea on street but not on track...

https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...=PASM+lowering

to be completely honest, i guess i have just seen alot of your posts in regards to springs.....here and on "the other" porsche forum.

I realize you dont know me, and i am not trying to be a di_ _. I have dropped 3 of my last four cars, never had any problems. I just get tired of seeing the "springs hurt your car" threads over and over.

to each his own....sorry if the tone in my first post was offensive. peace.
note to self: don't mess with RedRocket.
