+1 on the JIC's and Dan has a sale going now....I think 500 off!


I have the JIC's, the front AND rear H&R sway bars for the TT, and the agency power drop links front and rear. JIC's drop links are not nearly as strong as the agency power units or TRG units. Get either one of these options....search. I did it all at once to save money on the required time to balance, modify, etc. Just to do it once right. Worked like a charm.

I use it every day in Pennsylvania...not the best roads shall we say. 2 clicks harder than at full soft. All the time. No issues.

My car has been described by a gt3 instructor as awesome... Gt3rs 997 owner too.

FWIW.

Do you need to replace the drop links? I've read that the latest JIC drop links did not break.

How about if you plan to lower the car a little. Would the included drop links work or are adjustable ones needed??

Just bought a set of JIC from Vivid, and at Dans suggestion, a rear sway. Will chime when istalled if this thread still has a pulse.....

I trusted his opinion based on his experience with both producsts on both 996t and 997tt -

This PSS9 bumpsteer issue is funny...










Does this look like I'm having bumpsteer issues?

I have PSS9s. The major differences with the two systems, aside from the comment made about customer support from JIC and the issues with broken droplinks, is that the JIC provides a camberplate/pillowball setup from the factory... of course they also cost about $1000 more, which is the price difference in buying some pillowballs.

It really does depend on a number of factors. I personally don't see the PSS9s as "holding me back" on track, and my lap times prove that.

I know the KW was not one of the choices but I have an aggressive street setup with this suspension and it is a really nice set up. I have JRZ remote triple adj on my other car and the KW, when tuned properly, is in the same league in handling, imo.

I have had 3 customers now with Bilstein PSS10 that have had broken drop links. People break sway bar links, sway bar links dont break. That is why we make aftermarket ones for the serious drivers - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...5-p-47974.html. As a shop known for building quality cars for the road and track, this is probably something your customers would want.

I have the AP links...huge/thick things. I went with them as part of a package. If Dan did not make them, I would have gone TRG.

No issues for about 6 months now.

That's right on the money. For a daily driver that sees occassional track use, I definitely would do the PSS9s/10s. They are easy to adjust, offer a nice smooth setup and are still track worth components.
