    I have a set of PSS's ready to go in my car.

    Currently running Stasis( koni) coils. and they are very nicely damped with great control, and aren't noisy.

    But they don't have much travel, so I personally find the ride rough, especially on our Sydney roads.

    Yeah, I can't wait to get them on actually. But just gotta find the time. And not sure if I need or should get a bushings refresh kit when I swap them over.

    And I've been told by heasmans that the front spring rate is 370lbs per inch.

    So can anyone recommend a place locally to purchase pss9's, preferrably in Melbourne? Or should I buy o/s?

    I was very close to buying PSS9s for my GTI but ended up going with B8 shocks from ECS. I suggest you have a look at them as they were very easy to deal with and very cheap with the AUD so high.

    I've already been in contact with ECS about them, they responded with 2 hours of me sending an email! I think I will be purchasing from them.

    Hey Paul

    Damn good decision in choosing the PSS9s and my god what an outrageously cheap price with ECS delivered! If the PSS9's were that cheap when i was looking around for coilovers a few months back i would have definitely picked them up. My KW V1's were only a couple hundred cheaper Damn exchange rates !!

    Oh and on another note... does your car need a clean ?

    This was the other option I was going to mention - if you're happy with a factory tune for bump/rebound, they're cheaper than PSS9s. PSS9s have the advantage if you want to tune your ride more precisely, or want to be able to vary it (say between track and street settings).
    Nothing to see here...

    yeah, i don't think i will be game enough to track my car, so, i went with the PSS's.

    Do you know what the PSS's settings would be equal to on the PSS9's?
