My wife has given me the green light to upgrade the suspension on our 01 S. I originally thought I would go with the PSS9s, but now I'm not 100% sure. Through Epiq, they are a great deal. I have also been considering the JIC Cross setup as well. The Cross coilovers will run about $1k more.

Has anyone ever compared the two? I'm wondering if the $1k difference is worth it. I will be doing mostly street driving and the monthly local PCA autocross events. I will also be adding some upgraded sway bars at the same time. I was thinking of just adding the 030 ones. It seems like that will give you then best bang for the buck. Are the others that are available worth it?

I will be adding some R-compound tires as well to my stock wheels for the autocross events. It seems that the price difference between the 2 coilover setups could cover the cost of the tires.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David
