Default well if this helps ya decide, the non adjustable penskes can have compression added to them

but rebound would need a shaft swap

mayeb buy a set with rebound adjust so you can add compression later on?

Default All I see is boobies!!! ;-)

Damn, this thread just confused me more. For the price...I really can't turn down the PSS9's.

Default Looking forward to it. I did my part by e-mailing you all my plans day by day.

Now the ball is in your court to work somethign out. I'd like nothing more than to hang with you guys, would be the bright spot of my trip.

The more and more I think about better prepping my car for the track (upgraded suspension, center diff, lsd, etc, etc), the more and more I have impure thoughts about selling the S and moving to a more track-friendly vehicle. The flip side is convincing my dad to sell one of his toys and replace it with a more track oriented car that we could share.

Default Hmmm...with the spring rates that X-1 states below, that might be an issue in the rear for...

an Avant. Guys, keep in mind...I only track 4-6 times a year. Everything else is daily driving. So warranting the extra $1K for Penske's might be tough...but if the PSS9's aren't going to cut it due to those spring rates I might be screwed. Hmmmm....

Default Those were my thoughts too. I'm looking for something that can deal with some...

of the bumpy roads near my house(only a couple of miles worth) and not bounce around at the track like my H&R/Bilstein/ECS coil conversion kit does.
