I like the plates.

I had this setup on the 323ci for about a year. It's very good for what we wanted it for. Nice compliant ride but has returns when you really want it. We've used it for 3 HPDE's (AMP, RRR, and RA) on my car and is a great cross. She wanted it and we use my car for track, so it was better to get something a little more track oriented for mine. That's why we got the PSS-10's for my car.
This is the wife's car. ARC-8's 18x9's. 245/35/18 Nexen Nfera SU1 tires.
When I get around to suspension, I was thinking pss10, but don't know if I can justify the cost. Are they really that superior to the non adjustable PSS? I'd probably never play with the adjustments. I've adjustable coils on my Miata and haven't touched them.

Depends on what you like as far as firmness. We absolutely love the PSS non-adjustable. The PSS-10's set at ~3 is where the PSS are in relation to how firm they are and is probably where I will keep the 10's at except for track days. Set at 10 results in a ride that makes things rattle in the cabin over bumps and was noticeable when my wife followed me. "Looked bouncy" was her quote. Bilstein Sports are probably a 5-6 on the PSS-10's.
Again, just our opinion. The ONLY reasons I went to PSS-10's on my 323 was we track my car and I couldn't find another set of decent used PSS non-adjustable.
