I am going to investigate my set further, but I have no reason to suspect they are anything other than the stock PSS9 spring set.
Leading evidence: 'Set further' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set further' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Set on the shocks and perhaps even stiffer springs

The car is lowered nicely, but I would like a firmer setting on the shocks and perhaps even stiffer springs.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 996 has PSS9s on it from a previous owner. The car is lowered nicely, but I would like a firmer setting on the shocks and perhaps even stiffer springs. I had JIC Cross on my previous 993, and loved them as the car seemed much more controlled.
My questions are:
1) Exactly where is the adjuster for the shock, and which direction is it rotated to stiffen and soften? (I've found very mixed answers in my search)
2) Are stiffer springs available for PSS9, or am I looking at a completely new set of coil overs for a more controlled ride?
I've searched quite a bit online, and haven't found the answers, hoping someone knows for certain.
I purchased a set of PSS9's from a fellow lister that came with a firmer set of springs, supposedly 15% or so (they were on his car when he bought it, that's the info he had from the prior owner).
Anyway, they are at my inlaws in CA waiting for me to get them at Thanksgiving or Xmas, whatever SWMBO decides... I've been toying with what to do with them and I think my preference would be to have them with stock springs instead of these stiffer ones.
The first thing I need to do when I get them is to try to figure out exactly what springs or stiffness are on there but I may be up for a swap (of the springs I mean, not the whole assembly as I don't know much about the history of them or yours for that matter and will probably have them rebuilt eventually). The only hitch is the timing as I won't have them in hand for a few months. In any case it does appear that there are stiffer springs available, mine are kind of a pale green color, haven't looked around much more yet.
I would likely be very interested in swapping springs if you are able to determine exactly what they are. I am going to investigate my set further, but I have no reason to suspect they are anything other than the stock PSS9 spring set. I am in absolutely no rush, and honestly a few months is better timing for me anyway. Let's keep in touch.
