I have the PSS9's, love them, I'd go stiffer no problem. Solid mounts are rough.

I've heard the X73 is pretty stiff too. I have always heard the benefits of the PSS9 is the ability to change the settings for street or track.

My PSS9's are quite reasonable on 7. Has your car been lowered? If so, could you be riding on the bump stops?

It's not the PSS-9's, if they are defect free and installed properly. They provide a more compliant ride than the OEM suspension.

My PSS10 ride as smooth as stock non sport suspension when set on the soft side.
