I'm loving my PSS9 for the street. While they are an improvement over stock, they are not serious track shocks. I reviewed them somewhere if you want to search for it.

It's kind of the difference with the street KW's and track version the track will tolarate about 200 lb more spring rate than the street (= wider stickier rubber)

Sorry if this was explained before, but about the different heights on the coilovers i.e. 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm. What does that really mean. I have never ran into that in BMW's. So if some one could please explain that or PM the answer that would be great.

Thanks.

And this thread rocks for info. I really am learning alot about Evo's and which suspension set ups they like.

They are referring to piston diameters, not ride heights.

larger pistons have a larger surface to spread out the suspension loads (heat, and potential viscosity changes)
