If they can keep the rally boys happy and win world time attack challenge I'm sure a bit of rough highway will be no problem.

Whilst great value for money for what they are the Gold series will empty your pocket in a big hurry kicking off at $4800. Better bet would be the red series at about $2800 if you want to go down the coilover route.

Matt I agree the gold are expensive but the red and blue are going to be built for lowered cars and are still likely to suffer travel issues in the rear as the won't use external canisters.

AND josh is still yet to develop then :).

Is there a better place to shop or are these prices typical?


I've previously had PSS9's, and they're very comfortable - a better ride than standard and adjustable to suit your preferences.

My current 5 has Koni's + Eibach's and the ride with these is much better than I was expecting, but not as good as the PSS9's. The Eibach's are much more comfortable than King springs.

Buying any of these through Australian retailers is expensive compared to getting them from the US. I got my PSS9's from www.shox.com and cost me just under $1900 delivered and all taxes and duties paid. The AU dollar was around 90c at the time, and Australian retailers were selling PSS9's for $3500...
Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.
