I am leaning to PSS9, but open to ideas.
Over here PSS9 will cost me about $3900 AUD, I can buy it for $2400 from Pelican Parts.
Anywhere else in CA where I can buy suspension reasonably cheap?

The KW 2 will cost me $2800 here. The version 3 $3500.

What are the thoughts of you guys? Have you tried either/both. Is the Bilstein kit overpriced for what you get?
Thanks.
It really depends on how you plan to drive the car. Most adjustable struts don't ever see much adjustment so lots of options might/might not have value. Drivers typically just set em and forget em. I have PSS9s but I am not sure they are any better than M030 ROW for a street car on street tires. Once you start using R-comps or slicks, having more dampening control becomes important. More important than which struts you choose is getting the setup right.
