Nothing to trade but I wouldn't mind spares if and when you decide to sell them. Unfortunately, I can't switch.

MCS, Motion Control Suspensions are probably the best bang for the buck.

I recently put MSC 2-way /remote canister on my Cayman S. Link for MCS http://www.motioncontrolsuspension.com/ I worked directly with Lex Carson at MCS but had to buy from one of their dealers, Dawes Motorsport

I'm also using the MCS on my 944. Great shocks with each click on either bump or rebound making a noticeable change.

I race last weekend with a 944 that had Penske shocks built by Anze Suspension in NY. They were also great, but quite different.

This winter, I'm taking all 8 shocks and I'm sending them to Angelo at Anze to compare them on the dyno and see where I can improve them.

I agree with this statement....the PSS series of suspensions are primarily street suspensions that you take to the track. MCS is a track suspension that you can drive on the street.

I have had the MCS system on my 993 since early 2013. MCS is run by Lex Carson, formerly of JRZ and Moton. This guy is a legend in the performance suspension system business...and you'll never guess, but one of Lex's authorized distributors is none other than Steve Weiner. I bought my MCS from Steve along with the H&R springs recommended by Steve. I had been "picking Steve's brain" on the 993 since about 2001...12 years of great advice. When it was time to update my suspension, and upon discovering Steve was the MCS distributor, buying from Steve was a no-brainer. It was finally "pay back" time.

Prior to the MCS I had PSS9s, I bought used in 2004....ran with them until 2013. Sold them to another Rennlister. The MCS system is a definite improvement, and infinitely more flexible with front and rear compression and rebound settings, as well as remote canisters to adjust nitrogen pressures and stiffer springs. The PSS9s were 250F and 450R (Approximately). I am using 700F and 900R springs with the MCS system.

Note, 993 users, Steve strongly recommends a simultaneous installation of 993 RS uprights (Purchased from Sunset Imports in OR)....they were $1,300 2 years ago. The $1,300 price included new wheel bearings. The uprights allow for optimal suspension travel.

If you don't get MCS, then the other popular options seem to be JRZ and Moton, although I am not certain that one, or both of these companies is/are still actively in business...let's hope they are.

JRZ is still very active. Olson Motorsports, a Rennlist sponsor, does the US service for them. Olson seems to be a great shop.

I purchased my JRZ' from Olsen. In fact, he is rebuilding one for me as we speak.

When MCS built my shocks they asked me a series of questions about what I wanted, what spring rates I was going to use etc. They built the dampeners for my particularities, and then dyno them to ensure the end product was wtih in their specs. They are located in Georgia which is 2 days shipping for me. Great service.

When I received them I put them on and asjusted them as recommended. I had more over steer then I wanted, 1 click out of the rears and I was good to go.

These guys carry them in Ontario, a bit of a haul for you maybe or you can order them through them and not have to hassle with importation.

I recommend the MCS too. If you have any questions, just pick up the phone and give Lex a call, but be prepared to talk a while. Their shop is just down the street from me and I stopped in one day just to say hi. I think I was there for two hours.
