I just did a google search and found a 1200 dollar set. But it looks like its the Bilstien HD shocks with a set of springs. not the coilover system

Damn... $1200 for PSS9's is probably too good to be true then if the HD's are selling for that much..

So from what Im seeing there seems to be a PSS9 Suspension system and a PSS9 Coilover system and they all have differnet pictures i'd have thought that they would be one and the same and ideas guys?

Hmm, seems legit. As far as these coilovers go, there were no changes since 04-05, were there? Because those are the only years you can choose..I highly doubt it matters though, right?

It's all the same. PSS9 is PSS9 no matter what they call it. It is a coilover suspension system if you wanna call it that. You just have to make sure it says RX8. The pictures in that link say they are not vehicle specific, that's why they look different.

Let me know what you come up with. $1260 still doesn't sound right when everyone else is selling for around $1400, I mean yeah not a big difference in price, but definitely enough to double check. Im going to have to rely on you for calling them up as I'm in Afghanistan with no way of calling, so thanks in advance :P lol

haha alright well I'll let you know what I come up with also you may want to wait until I recieve the item just to make sure its fitment is correct and what not because if it doesnt work out you'll have a much harder time returning anything than I do lol

Very true indeed. I really am in no rush either as I do not get back until july 25th so they'd just be sitting there collecting dust in the boxes. Therefore it does not hurt to wait and see the outcome with you. Good point, thanks!

Cheapest legit place to get the PSS9's (with the correct part # listed) will be www.yoparts.com for $1,365. To get them at this price you have to pay ~$40 to become a 6 month member. However, if you're in the market for a number of parts at once (coilovers, wheels, racing seats, etc), the $40 membership fee will be paid for many times over.

With that said, I bought mine from stranoparts.com for ~$1,500. I knew what I was getting and there were no surprises when my box arrived at my door. The owner has also helped me with invaluable advice in setting up my car for autocross which you can't get from a wholesale retailer.

Best of luck whatever you decide!
