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.

More Pics here...
So far the ride is great! The car handles and feels much better. Right now I'm at 4/4, but I'm thinking of going to a lower setting as it still feels a bit soft now. Don't know yet though, I need to drive it more.
Berny
PSS9 is fully adjustable. I can set the ride height and firmness...but it's not factory for those who worry about warranty, not that it's an issue at most dealers.
Latest Update and Mods...
Sport Pedals for Tip (Thanks Gert)
Rennline "Carrera GT " Style Aluminum Floorboards (Thanks Akkurat)
More stuff coming next week! Going NUTZ!
Yea, my brake pedal is upside down...I wanted to be different....haha actually I did that by accident...
Took a drive on the backroads everyday this weekend to test out the suspension...man what a difference. The cars felt good before now it feel better...not sure if it's great yet.
Took some pictures today...
Pictures from today...
Kirb:
Thanks for the pics, just ordered PSS9 for my 04 C4S, wheels to come next week. As for the settings, how do you like the settings at 4/4? What from camber are you running?
kirb thanks for the pics. you make me totally regret putting on my wing. now I'm actually thinkign of throwing it out and putting the stock reclinable one back on!
great ride!
I too would be interested to hear Kirby's impressions of 4/4 on the PSS9. I did a couple of tests recently in adjusting the suspension settings and will be quickly going back to 4/3.
It is amazing how one click can make such a big difference on this setup
Right now 4/4 seem perfect...good balance of performance with a not so harsh ride. as for the Camber I'm not 100% sure. I asked for something not too aggressive since most of my driving is street with occasional track time. I don't want my tires wearing out in 3000 miles
I would start with 4/4 and go from there. Like Arthur I'm going to try 4/3, but I'm waiting for my spacers to come in, plus some other goodies...I want to do everything at once.
dirtdoc, What wheels are you getting???
Kirby,
You will be surprised with the difference in changing the front over to a 3 makes. I tried out 4/3, 4/4 and finally 5/4. I can honestly say that after driving the car for a while at 4/3, 5/4 felt sloppy and nearly as bad as original spec. At 4/4 the read end was nice but the front was still a bit loose and you would still get the nose lifting or diving under various conditions. At 4/3 it is amazing.
I also had mine realligned as it was a ***** up the first time round and set the read camber to 1.3 and mate what a difference. The car feels so much more planted now. Before the change I had 1.04(l)/1.2(r). I believe the settings the dealer set the car to was X74 settings and it makes a huge difference.
Enjoy your new ride (you know what I mean) it only gets better with age and time behind the wheel
Kirby:
Wheels are BBS RS-GT Black Diamond, same as yours, paint is seal gray, same as yours. I was glad to see the combination that I wanted on your P-car... exactly the look that I wanted. Also, thanks for the info on settings, I'll try 4/3 and -1.0/-1.2 for camber. Are you going to ALMS at Infineon next weekend, would like to see your car in person.
Arthur K,
Just want to be clear on your settings. You're running 3 in the front and 4 in the rear. I have 4 and 5 respectively, and it's still a bit floaty.
Thanks!
David,
I found 5 in the rear and 4 in the front to be nearly a stock ride feel. At 4(r)/3(f) the car was amazing and not floaty at all. It is amazing how different that one notch can make. Give it a go you wont regret it. Mine is a cab, so you would think the extra stiffness in the chasis would be an issue but I didnt find it to be the case.
Kirby,
Pardon my ignorance is a Miata what we might refer to an MX5? If so I am impressed the Miata handles that well.
Also I thought you would like the ride of the 4/3 it is more compliant than the 4/4 or even 5/4 It is definately my preferance.
arthurK, i can confirm after owning 6 miatas that they are also know as MX5, or roadster or Eunos depending on which world market they are in.
and indeed, those little buggers can handle, and often times better than any of my porsches.
