Default Stasis Tracksport vs. PSS9... 90% street, 10% track. Which one? and..

what spring rate for the Stasis TS?

Roads aren't the smoothest, but not pot-hole infested either.

Default have tracksports. i'm less than 10% track and could still really use 2nd adjustment

for better initial damping (whatever non-rebound is called).

if i were on the track more i'd DEFINITELY want stiffer springs. hell, i'd go PSS9s or motorsports if i spent more time on the track, for sure.

Default I'm very please with the PSS9s.

I had an older set of the tracksports (600/700 springs, IIRC) prior to these and I prefer the PSS9s.

Default I had same dilemma, got TS's since they were free. If i did it again i would get MS's or Penskes

But those are in a little higher price bracket. Linear spring rate is nice on the TS if you are going to the track though...

Default Been happy with the PSS9's, but have yet to track them (will be next week for ACNA DE in Utah)

Still trying to fine tune them a bit. Don't quite like how it handles medium sized bumps. But its soo much better than stock. And hey, its adjustable so I can fine tune them to my liking.

Currently at 25.5" F/R and 6 F / 4 R. Had the rear at a 5 and it was pogo'ing a little bit to much. Now at 4 it doesn't seem to want to compress for medium sized bumps at speed, least not as much as I'd like them to.

Default Similar situation with street condition... TS's w/ 600/700 but I should have gotten 725 rears..

I have Intrax ARB's which, as a result of the front bar, impart a bit of understeer. I could lose the front bar, but the cornering is quite flat as it is.

Car has never seen the track (yet) but I would think this setup is very capable on the track.

If I were doing it again..which I am not, this was my third suspension, I would get MoSports or Penske's if they are indeed as good as the MoSports.

I could use the compression adjust as well but I have the setup tuned pretty much as good as it is gonng to get and have no plans or thoughts of changing...

Default

Yes. Stasis needs to make the rear dampening stiffer by default

Default I'm about 98% street, 2% track. I chose PSS9s.

The ratio is probably even lower, but I'm satisified with the PSS9s to date. STFA or click my sig for my comments.

Of course, keep in mind that the user base of the PSS9s is much smaller than the TS.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2231350.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2231350.phtml</a></li></ul>

Default PSS9s, unless you want the stiffer spring rates 700+
