I had buyers remorse when I went from my Boxster S to the 996 until I installed the PSS9s and GT3 adjustable swaybars.

Well, the deed is done. Although I would have liked the JIC's, I ended up with the PSS9 because Gert at Carnewal was selling them at such a "can't pass up" type of price. The install was done by a great shop in the Bay Area, Akkurat, in Menlo Park. The settings are 3 and 2 (front/rear) and the car handles awesome! I have to say that just cruising around town, freeway on ramps and off ramps are considerably more fun. There is a tremendous amount of feedback from the car now; whereas before, it felt rather numb comparatively. Last evening, the sway bars were installed and WOW!! The PSS9 before was awesome, however it was transformed with the new, stiffer, beefier sways. I had a blast driving home last night and can't wait to put her to the test. The ride is still comfortable and the height of the car...well...speaks for itself!

Robyn,
I want to lower my car as well, however, in NYC I'm afraid of the car being too low. Do you have any issues with hills, potholes, or driveways?
Thanks,
Rob
Nice look, Robyn. It's a good thing that you have that looooow sloping driveway!
A few Q's:
1. What alignment specs did you go with?
2. Are the K-18s reverse drop centers or the regular centers? What center caps are those? They seem to match perfectly in color.
Cheers
I lowered mine down quite a bit with the PSS9s and -- with the stock front bumper -- I have very few problems in DC. If you have an issue, you can just raise the car a bit.
Congrats, it is awesome. I had buyers remorse when I went from my Boxster S to the 996 until I installed the PSS9s and GT3 adjustable swaybars. Then I fell in love. Hope all is well, and it sounds like it is.
PSS9's with install can run about $3000 or more...
Average price for PSS9's is around $2000 or more.
Install is around $1000 which usually includes install, alignment and corner balancing.
I'll get you my alignment specs. They are at home.
And they are the regular centers. Would have loved the K18Rs, but these were a steal of a price, couldn't pass up.
Itzkirb, or anyone else: In regard to the PSS9 install of $1,000. Is there anything about the install that takes a really long time? At $90-$100 an hour, that's 11-10 hours to install? While I cannot speak to the corner balancing, the install and the alignment just does not seem to be that big of a job. Coilover installs for an Audi S4, which required cutting of the metal for the fronts, with an alignment was $400-$500.
I am not doubting you, I am just surprised!
Out here, we are talking about $125 an hour labor rate. $250 for a four wheel alignment and $125 for corner balancing. We ae talking about five hours to do the actual uninstall and install of the new parts.
Removing all the old struts, shocks, springs, the front is more complicated than the rear, you even need to go so far as loosening the drive shaft I believe and in the rear, you have to pull up carpet in the car to get to the struts and such. It's not quite "bolt on".
The going rate out west is about $1000, your dealer of course is happy to charge you quite a bit more than that if you can get them to do aftermarket installs.
