Hey look, I'm finally moving up in the world. Maybe to the eastside!!!
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/100614/img_0507.jpg"></center><p>Brakes are almost done and now it's time for some suspension work. Blistein PSS-9 are pretty sweet system for the money. Can't wait to try it out on the track in a couple of month's. Wheels are next 19" but it's hard to pick the right wheels. I don't have 4 grand lying around for 3 piece wheels. Hey it's only money, right ??? Don't tell the "wifey", that. These after market parts add up really quick. Will post a pic when she's done.

nice, you'll love the PSS9s...
Where are your rear perches? I've had mine on for 6 months or so. They're great. Fine tuning for the track and auto-x. you can really dial in the car to your preference. The only complaint I have about them is it's a pain in the *** to adjust the dampning on the front shocks. you have to turn the wheels all the way to each side and reach under the strut to that blue cap and remove it then adjust the **** and replace the cap. My Konis were nice because it was just under the hood on the strut towers.

i wonder if anyone's tried running koni fronts
with pss9 rears. i think rob (bluto, ebb?) used to run a similar suspension setup, and he seemed happy with it. i don't know if anyone else has tried it though....
want to swap rear shocks for a weekend? ;-)

Given the benefits of the front coilovers, I don't think I would do that...
the rear setup for the PSS9 isn't much better than a Koni eibach setup. the shocks have a little better adjustability and the springs have adjustable perches, but if I had Konis I'd want them all around. On the front however, the PSS9s are night and day different.

yes...
when I got my car it already had Konis with stock springs. I added Eibachs and it made a huge difference in handling. I didn't think coilovers would be big of a jump, but it was quite different in a good way. I think the PSS9s have a much more rigid design and higher spring rates. The TT handles so well right now. I really need to get it corner balanced and aligned, but I've been saying that for 6 months
