About to order the pss9 setup, but still considering the KW V3s. Also, what's the difference between the pss9s and the pss10s?

KW's would be overkill. PSS9's will get you lowered, but will NOT dump the car. You will probably have a 1-2 finger gap between the tires/fender. I have no experience with the PSS10's.

What are you using?
2003 Honda dampers and springs on all 4 corners, with 2003 Honda swaybars.

That's what I was thinking, and I'm not looking for a slammed or stanced car. I've heard that the pss9s provided a softer ride than stock and the KW V3s. But, I've also heard the complete opposite, that KW V3s could be set softer and that they both wouldn't ride as soft as stock.

Maybe it's the mileage on my stock suspension, but I hate the ride.

Also, any good company to buy through? I need to place an order today so I can get them in by Thursday.....hopefully

PSS9's are soft riding coilovers. They ride great, but they're not much stiffer than stock, so if you're looking for max performance they're not what you want (that would be a KWV3, or AST/Moton/JRZ/Ohlins/$$$$). If you just want to lower the car on some good coilovers, stiffen it up a tad, and have a good ride the PSS9's are great.

You could also talk to Fortune Auto about their Fortune Auto 500 coilovers. They're in Richmond and probably have them in stock, and they're rebuildable in house. Plus T-ray and Jen are my peepz.

My stock suspension feels stiff and kind of beats me up while driving on normal roads.

Its a sports car man, what did you expect? It firm, and if roads in Lynchburg are like roads in Norfolk, you're going to feel every bump and pothole in the road. PSS9's might be better than stock, I dunno.
