PSS9 versus ROW030

Anyone driven cars with both? I'm wondering if adjustability is all it's cracked up to be. I reckon if I had PSS9, I'd adjust em once and then forget about them. So, it'd come down to is PSS9 in this mode better/worse than ROW030 with a setup for daily drive with maybe 10 days of DE type driving annually?

I have not driven both, but I will say I have changed my PSS9 settings several times...It is very easy (less than 5 minutes).

Billy,

I think the adjustability of the Pss9s is worth it but only if you are going to use the car in such a way that you can take advantage of them. With PSS9s you can adjust height, rake and compression/rebound. You can also corner-balance the car. These adjustments are very important if you want to optimize your car for the track or, I guess, really fast street driving. They are a waste if you just want the car to look and handle better.

Billy, I change the settings just to play with the stiffness. They can be dialed in from 1-9 and it takes no time at all. The car does not need to be re-aligned or corner balanced to make these changes. Give a guy a knob and they are bound to play with it! I'm at 4/3 right now...try something else later.

I am debating between the ROW M030 and the PSS9 and cannot decide.... go figure :help:

I just watched a PSS9 get installed... removal of the back interior carpet and panel is required to access the top of the rear shock towers to adjust the rebound rate, the front you can access without removing the tires if you know where the knob is and the rotors aren't hot......

5 Minutes..... really? I had to remove interior panels to install the TE roll bar... I guess it could be done once you knew where the snap in points were on the interior pieces.... now crawling to the back thru the TE bar and the fixed back GT3 seats is another thing entierly..... :cursing:

OK actually 4.5 minutes...but I have a cab. I just put the top part way down, unhook the bottoms, pull the foam back and twist the knob. Oh I love my cab!
