I bought them a few days ago. Decided to go with these mainly because of damper adjustment points are on the the bottom of the shock. So i can adjust on teh go and dont need to take the suspension off. I considered, koni, H&R,stasis SS, k-sport and these stuck out the best.
Price was around 1600shipped to my door. I know all those are cheaper but i needed something that can withstand hard winters (vt + salt), and perform really well on the road and maybe once in a while on a track. But i deff bought them caues of the damper.
So after that rant, just wondering what to expect in ride quality from these in different setting. would love to hear from people that have them. Thanks

Good choice - especially for the money. They have higher spring rates then stock so it will be a big improvement on the track but the ride will suffer a bit. Your biggest problem is the adjustable damper. When you set it to "2 clicks" on the sampers, 2 clicks does not make the same adjustment on each damper. The only way to know they are set with the same dampening is to use a shock dyno. Bilstein is one of the better adjustable shock manufacturers so they will not be too far apart and will be MUCH better then stock - especially for the money. Sure the Stasis Ohlins SL kit may be a bit better but you saved $1,200.

yea i cant wait to get them on. I'm currently on H&R springs, and the ride is way too bouncy for me. I rather have a firm but comfotable ride.

I ran them for a couple of years before jumping to a TC Kline D/A kit. The difference was mind blowing. The PSS9 is a good street kit, but doesn't compete on the track.
