Anyone with PSS9's ?
 
I have PSS9's on my vehicle, and it's been a long time since I've adjusted them . Correct me if I'm wrong, but if recalled they adjust in reverse order . Meaning, 9 is the softest setting and 1 is the hardest . A quick search on the web resulted in some conflicting information . Can anyone chime in ?

Here is the manual in German and English 1-soft 10 - hard

That manuel is for PSS10's, which according to everything that I've read adjust in the opposite direction of PSS9's .

What settings do you run your 9's at for street ?

Just curious, do you have to get an alignment with each adjustment? The tire rack right up says that it not only changes spring rates, but ride height. Therefore changing height will change camber and toe...Right?

Umm, the 1-9 knob doesn't change the spring rate at all. It changes the damper rate.

Ride height is adjustable with separate threaded collars. Generally, significant changes in ride height will mean you'll want a new alignment but you can get away with the small tweaks.

when you guys installed your coil overs what other components did you have to change ?

Other than realignment and corner balancing (if applicable) nothing had to be changed .

Still working on that.

At the absolute least you will need adjustable rear toe arms to get camber and toe right.
