The front helper springs were rubbing on the inner rim of my BBS RE wheels so we cut them off and re-adjusted the ride height and wired the main spring to keep it in position when the car is lifted.

They are touted as having 9 point adjustability, are they difficult to adjust, do you have to lift the car or readjust or balance other things on the car when you change the settings?
Leading evidence: 'Adjust ride height and wired the main spring' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust do you have' (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.

It probably takes all of about 2 minutes to change all of them.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

For those of you that have PSS9's. They are touted as having 9 point adjustability, are they difficult to adjust, do you have to lift the car or readjust or balance other things on the car when you change the settings?
I had mine adjusted when they were installed and left them alone. The front helper springs were rubbing on the inner rim of my BBS RE wheels so we cut them off and re-adjusted the ride height and wired the main spring to keep it in position when the car is lifted. You have to get to the shock towers to adjust the them and that can be a hassle for the rear shocks. You can also screw things up if you don't know what your doing. Nonetheless, they are a great improvement over the stock sport suspension of the anniversary car.
They are very easy to adjust on my car. I can reach the fronts by turning the wheels all the way to one direction. The rears I have to slide out the speaker box, but also very easy to do. It probably takes all of about 2 minutes to change all of them.
Excuse my ignorance but:
What you are adjusting is the damper rate, correct?.......and there are 9 settings for that?.
I'm assuming you are not messing with ride height (on the fly) as that would affect corner balance & rake........correct?
correct.. its dampening rate for both bound and rebound (in pre-set pairs)... ride height is not adjusted by those dials...
ride height still requires to move the perch collars manually and corner balance/alignment to follow...
So the dampening is easy to adjust in moments and is not a hassle, but ride height has to be decided upon at installation because there are many more adjustments that must be compenstaed for. Am I right?
I am trying to decide between the X74 and The PSS, I am worried that X74 will be too low for the 40th's front end.
you typically do not change ride height unless you are tuning the car to a specific track or need... once you get to the height you want with the rake you want, you corner balance it for optimal handling characteristics. you can have it higher if you want more street clearance or lower for looks or track needs...
keep in mind, when you lower a car, you increase its roll characteristic (change in instantaneous center)..
a set of coilovers will definitely give you more fine tuning capabilities to your car then the x74 will...
Care to explain this a tad more.........conventional wisdom would be, lowering cg generally a good thing........I believe the good doctor was once quoted as saying the ideal place for cg is under the pavement.
here's a simple link to help understand.. its much much more complicated and most people here use off the shelf components without truly understanding the engineering changes to their car...
cg is a big part, but it ain't everything...

I'd spend the extra money now and have a competent shop install it. You can set the ride height to any specification and the car realigned. I'm very happy with my PSS9's.
