I've done some research and have decided to save my money and get the Blistein PSS 9 Adjustable Suspension. So far the best price I have found is at ************************************************************ for $1,849.00. Anyone know who else is out there that can beat this price?

Thanks. That is a good deal and free shipping. Wierd, I searched on e-bay for it but it only showed results for the 987 the time I did it.

Gary, how doesyour car handle over parking lot speed bumps? I'm worried about the side skirts on my car getting screwed up. Does your car clear them and how about steep inclines. Do you just try to avoid them or do you can you go up and down them just by doing it very slow?

Elbachs and stock is what I have ran for awhile. I'll have a used set of Elibachs in a few weeks.
The ride is a little firmer, than stock and I have never had a problem with this setup at all.
I have gone on many road trips at 8 - 10 hours one way. ANd I was very comfortable. The back roads are alot more fun, I feel less body roll.
I have not DE'd the car so I can't give any feed back on that.
I say go with it.
Gary
