You should double check with Bilstein, but that is what I remember - $125 per shock. Swift springs are a little more expensive than some of the other brands, but like I said, it's hard to find 70mm ID springs. They were around $100 each IIRC. I re-used the retainer springs. The Swift springs were really very high quality.

So the total cost for a rebuild compared to buying something new:
$1000 in parts for springs and shock rebuilds
One extra shipping charge to send shocks out (You have to pay for shipping in your new suspension anyway) $75? depending on where you are
All of the other costs (demounting, remounting, corner balance, alignment) you have to do either way.

That compares to around $3600 for KW V3's. If you were able to get $2500 for your PSS10's, you'd be even. That's pretty optimistic.

You might want to take a look at this thread, especially posts #21 and 22:

I still have the springs mentioned in post #15 in that thread, if that turns out to be useful for you when you upgrade.

@vntperformance: I don't do launches. My car is set up for road courses, and I haven't done street races since I started paying for tires, which was about 40 years ago.

Steve said that based on my description of how my car is behaving he suggests I at a minimum raise the car .5 inches all around for starters. The pss10 will allow 1-1.5 inches lower than stock. Wes said the front can go 15 mm-35 mm lwr than stock and rear 20 mm lwr than stock.

If raising the car did not help then the obvious next step is a better coilover that can handle track duty. I still think that if I went that route I would try the x73 as I have good results from that for the price, but, Steve was not a huge fan of the system.

Steve said that if I wanted to ride the pss10's on the lower range that I might need to buy some gt2 bits to dial out bump steer which I currently have as the car sits now. He explained that the strut on the 9 and 10's is longer and a jrz or motion coilover is shorter which is a better design for lowered cars.

I did not know that the former owners of Moton, have started a new co called Motion and Steve sells them. Still around the same price point of the Moton's. I take my car in next week to raise it up some and have a cb and allignment done. I have an event in Houston first weekend at Motor Sports Ranch so I will know better after that event.

 

thanks everyone for your help.
