99K on my 95. I've replaced the steering rack (twice), clutch, flywheel, and put PSS9s in. I drive it everyday, and expect to be over 100K in a few weeks. I consume about a quart of oil every 2K or...

When I did mine recently I found that the PSS9s were not that much more than the HDs. I probably won't use them to thier full potential, but I think they were worth it, anyway.

Well then, quite a shift in opinions. I still have the caps, so I guess I should pop 'em back on. I stand corrected.

Thanks, all.

I have a quick question for those of you have installed PSS9s. On the fronts, did you remove the blue plastic cover from the adjustment knob? With the cover in place I can't get a good feel for the...

7 years, and 60K miles.

It amazes me how well these cars hold up.

Now that I've swapped the suspension for PSS9s, it feels like a new car.

Lots of posts recently about the same thing. Check your PS resevoir. There is a good likelyhood that you are low on PS fluid, and the pump is making noises.

I'm measuring ride height by taking the distance from the fender to the road, through the center cap. Does this agree with your method?

Too true. My exhaust tips are a little beat after 97K miles. I think polished, rather than chromed. Just one more item on the list.
