The suspension should work just fine without the helper springs, i'd take them out if you wanna slam the car. But keep in mind that the car will handle better being a little higher rather then slammed.

Drove around a bit at the 1 damper setting and it is pretty stiff.

Have the PSS9's too, but can't lower the car as much as I would like.

At the lowest settings, I still have a little gap up front and about a finger gap in back. Thinking about taking out the helper springs.

But the ride feels great and overall quality is excellent. Have them set a 4 front and 6 rear.
I'll try your setting out later. I have mine at 8 and 8 right now. The front feels alright but I'm not completely satisfied with the rear yet.

im confused, does the pss9 make the car handle better or is it for aesthetics?

Both depending on the settings. On the most stiffest setting, people have complimented these coils on the track.

Just installed a set of the Bilstein PSS9

Build quality is superb!!!

Ride quality is excellent as well. very smooth on the streets. firm yet comfortable!

Clicking the adjustment knob was very smooth and direct as well.

Check out these pics.
