PSS9 vs. JIC Cross...Which is better for daily driving?

I have had my JIC cross suspension on for 2 seasons and love the performance and adjustablility. They are a bit on the firm side.
Who knows how the PSS9's compare to the CROSS bits in comfort and performance?
thanks

I think either are good, it all comes down to how you have them set up.

Generally JIC shocks are setup with too high on force with their low-speed compression (shock speed, not vehicle), hence they feel harsher on the street IMO. PSS9 are better from that perspective. However, if you will change coilovers, I would recommend KWs or just go with Moton CS.

Why KW over Cross? Doesn't KW lack the three axis setup (ride height, compression firmness, recovery firmness) of the Cross?

I don't like Duraluminum that JIC is made of. KW v3 has enough adjustability, and JIC's shock travel adjustment confuses more people than it helps. You really need to understand your car to do that right in addition to ride height. More importantly, to me, though, the shock valving out of the box is significantly better than JIC and other Japanese shock manufacturers; but that is just my opinion. Of course there is a price difference for that
