Hey Pearlpower,

when you had the PSS's on was there plenty of height adjustability?

when you were swapping out for the TOM's did you happen to notice if the length of the shocks were the same as the shocks intended for the SC

those PSS's were for what year GS?

i am going to buy some HKS hipermax II for a 02 GS and put them on my SC430

thanks

Length was the same on both units. No difference there. Only the spring rates are different. My GS was a 98

thats great news.

is the 98 the 2G GS? i cant remember

the HKS hipermax II has 10 front and 8 back spring rates which should be good for the SC

Had a couple request for updates. I have now had these coilovers on the car for just a tad over a year. Goes by so fast.

No problems, no noises-ever, no leaks. Handling is still great. Ride is a tad firm but compliant. Something I really recommend for those that come across a set for a good price. Even after several thousand miles on the car, I have not noticed any loss in handling.
