This is a photo of my struts. Note the large diameter of the chromed rod and compare this to your typical PSS9, etc.

Remember that this is a "strut" and not a "shock", which means it serves to locate the wheel and needs to be as rigid as possible to avoid wheel deflection in a turn.

On top of this, the few damping curves I have seen on PSS9's are a joke. I will never understand the love for the PSS9 in the Porsche community.
