Bilstein PSS9's on an NA, Do they fit? Are they worth it?

Postby Stu King » Sun Feb 20, 2011 8:48 am

Hi All, I have searched the forums but cannot arrive at the answer to the above questions.
I am keen to order the PSS9's from Shox.com, but they seem only to be found under 99 and later models, not the NA models, Hence my question number 1. The second half of the first question is, is there a difference between the NA and NB and later? or are there 2 different kits? Any advice would be much appreciated.
The second question is aimed at those drivers of NA's who have used the PSS9's and what their thoughts are on their thoughts are on the the PSS9, Worth it or not?
Look forward to the debate...

I'm not sure there are any NA owners on this forum using PSS9s, so you could be waiting a while for NA specific feedback. But as you probably saw from your search all, or at least virtually all, NB owners that use PSS9 absolutely swear by them. May be try a search of Miata.net to see if you can find any NA owner experiences there. But ultimately are they worth it - depends what they're going to cost & how suited they are to the NA for you.
