Default Well I don't have them but it's down to those or the PSS9's

I'm still leaning towards the Bilsteins since they can be adjusted by a **** rather than removing the rears and adjusting by turning the shock body. However, that being said - i've heard nothing but good things about the KW II's from those who have them. I hate to say this - but it may come down to which ones I get a better deal on since I think once I set mine - I probably will only change the settings occasionally.

Default Ordered them last week.

The price was too good to walk away from. Company has good reputation and build quality seems to be good.
Probably will only change settings 2 or 3X per year. So the easier adjustability of the PSS9's is not as important to me.

Default Since there is no provision for a dial on top of the rears - you have to detach them and twist the

shock body to change the settings - this is how Koni shocks adjust as well. Also the KWII's adjust only rebound dampening, where as the PSS9's adjust both compression and rebound dampening when adjusted and they have a dial on the bottom of both the front and rear shocks to allow for adjustment without removing the shock body. KWIII's have separate rebound and compression dampening - but i'm not sure how that is accomplished.
