No affiliation, just received an email from them about their sale. Hope this helps someone off the fence!!!

If these are the same ones tha Mania sells for $2,700, that's a huge price differrence:

http://new.minimania.com/web/SUBTYPE..._Inventory.cfm

 

Could you post the e-mail? Just went to their website and they have nothing on there about it. Any links?

 

I checked also, and the site is pretty much useless as far info goes... I think you need to call or email to get the scoop... I personally like to see photos and content (documentation) before pulling the trigger... Mabye it's there, and I just couldn't find it...

 

I know of someone setting up vendorship (or at least is planning on) who actually sells Zeal coilovers! These are top notch items, and provide a much smoother ride than the Ledas or Bilsteins. He will be able to give you more information once hes here, but I know they will be around $2500

 

What a rip off going price is around $1700 at most places

 

FYI, I've used Shox for springs and adjustable dampers on previous cars. You will have to email them unless they've changed their site recently, but the prices are very good and the parts show up quickly. I was happy with the service.

Hard to tell if they're the same units that Mini Mania sells for $1200 more, as a quick glance reveals different systems of numbering the parts...

once again, no affiliation, just passing along the info.

thanks for posting that. I just ordered a set, should be here this week. I have koni's now but they are a little harsher than I would like. Also the ajustable ride height is one of the big factors why I am going to swap them.


Anyone interested ina set of Koni yellows with M7 springs. great condition less than 200 miles.

 

With LEDAS the ride doesnt really mean much considering you can change shock valves and springs at will, not to mention the helper springs they offer will take away the "bite" from road imperfections.

It is the same way with Motons but you get a much better bang for the buch with the LEDAS.

 

I posted several times about my PSS9s and I can say that I finally have them set up 95% perfect. They really do ride nice (had HSport and Konis) I added the H Sport front sway bar and this set up (dare I say it) rocks!

 

Ordered mine from Shox.com yesterday

Let us know what your impressions are concerning ride compliance vs. what ever setup you have currently.

Cheers,

 

So what did you finally set them up at?

 

they are stiff at 2 in front and 4 in rear. this does induce understeer but at a very fast speed. the remaining 5% is in the fine tune which will to be softening the front

 

Well I got my PSS9 installed a few weeks ago, they are great I have them set at the softest for the street and the ride is firm but comfortable. I had RDR camber plates for the fronts and adjustable lower control arms for the rear.
I have had 3 track days so far and I am loving the way the car handles. VIR full course the car handles so much better than last year with the sport suspension. At the track I set the damping /rebound at 6 all around, tried it at max for a couple of sessions, but it was way too firm and a little bouncy in the rear on some sections of the track.

Next weekend will try out Kosie K1 TS with Hoosier 205/40/17 at CMP with the SVT mustang group, this will be the real test of well the PSS9 works.

 

Damn,

I wish i could have jumped on this......

Congrats to everybody that got them!

Thanks for the update! Your getting out of the gate fast this year - 3 track days to date- outstanding. At the lower price it looks like I'll have to take action.

Cheers,

 

I have had mine on for a few weeks and they are great, I have them on 8. I have been to 2 track days with them so far and all I can say is AWESOME ! I even left them on 8 both times but next time out I am going to play with the settings a bit.

 

Anyone know if the special is over?
