Hi


i just installed my PSS9 kit to my MCS 06 actually my local suspension specialist did. Soon as i left the shop i was driving home and half way there the steering wheel starts to shake under hard acceleration, mainly in 2nd and 3rd but also shakes badly after you hit 100km/h an over. can anyone help me?? i rung my installer they said they did a full wheel aligned the car. has anyone else had this problem. The system is set to the lowest hight adjustment and i am runniing 9f9r but also if i stiffen the suspension it gets a little worse ie 6f7r.

thanks hope to hear from you guys soon

 

raise the car up to correct driveshaft angles. at 1" lower than stock on PSS9's, my car felt perfect...no vibrations.

 

does anyone know what the original hight is??? or whats the best setting for the Pss9 i mean what is the best lowering hight

 

My sport stock suspension "was" around 25 1/4" F and 25 3/8" R from ground to apex of fender

 

whats that in millimetrs haha

 

This happens with worn in drive shafts, it will get less if the drive shafts get worn in under their new angle. I had problems with it with my Leda suspension. Now I also have the PSS9 and have set them about 1/2 inch above the lowest point and no problems. But that is because my drive shafts already were worn in under the same angle with the Leda set. And I even run 1,5 neg. degrees camber.



There are tricks to overcome this problem but they are not nice (lengthen the drive shaft with metal rings and put the engine with gearbox higher up by putting spacers under the engine mounts).

 

Well that is stock sport numbers...but my Mini is a daily driver and I drive in this on occasion:


TSW springs so far about 1/2" drop..which is cool by me...they rock!

 

Check your wheels. You might have hit a pothole. Happened to me. Took out my suspension and a couple of rims.

 

I am running Dan, PGTs actual PSS9s on my car now, bought them when he switched to Cross coilovers. My car too is fine running 1" lower than stock. Try raising the car a bit. If you are getting shake under power, that sounds likely to be a drive shaft issue.

 

a bit????
my car is maxed out on the pss9 system do you think i should take it up 1 and 1/2 inches?
