Thanks, but the springs have nothing to do with the bounce. It's all in the shock rebound.
You have compression [springs]and rebound control [shocks]...
Stock shocks and springs are designed by Porsche together but will am springs work as effective with stock shocks? Hmmm....not so sure about that. shock travel becomes reduced with AM so driving fast on bumpy road surfaces will not work as nice as stock spring.

Hey Frank, TPC does offer a DSC control unit for PASM cars although I am not sure if these units are compatible with the 991tt yet... Might want to check. Although pricey these things have gotten rave reviews.
I drive the same roads with the Porsche as I do with my RS211 so I may be a little jaded when it comes to handling comparisons with a car that I've designed for canyon roads...
I am so totally amazed with the Turbo S's ability to cover ground quickly that I canceled my install of the IPD Y plenum install since more power is not what this car needs in my opinion,,, It just needs driver adjustability of the shock rebound....
Now if someone would offer an aftermarket shock control unit I'll be first in line...
I have been thinking the same thing. I am a newb to my 991TT and seeing all these folks modifying to get more HP and speed just boggles my mind. I keep telling myself "they have more money than sense". I don't get it. If you want a fast 1/4 straight line car there are so many other cheaper ways to do it and if you want to drive the twisty's there aren't many that can handle the current power and capabilities of the car.
I do enjoy reading the posts though. If and that's a big if I did anything to my stock platform it would be exhaust for sound and new wheels for looks, that's it.
I have confidence in Porsche engineering and do not drive my car on a drag strip, so have no need for more power. I respect the prerogative of those who do modify their TT/TTS's and wish them well. Everything on the car from the factory is engineered to optimize performance with durability, including wheels. Porsche wheels are designed to optimize brake ventilation and while some aftermarket wheels are very attractive not one advertisement that I have seen for them mentions their ventilation properties, for example.
I encourage owners to take one or more courses at the Porsche Sport Driving School to better understand one's own limits, but also to fully plumb the capabilities of Porsche's. Unless one campaigns cars for racing, stock versions work very well on the street or at HPDE's.
The much derided stock TT/TTS exhaust system does not produce the sound some might like, but the long-term impact of aftermarket exhaust systems on engine durability may not be neutral. Same with the ride height of the TT/TTS. I drive my car in the real world so an inch or so lower without a front axle lift would be a problem for me. Perhaps an ECU tune will allow one to outgun a Huracan on the drag strip, but I'll leave that contest to others with the comfort that my engine is likely to last longer than a tuned version. Cynics may say that my perspective is just buying the Porsche marketing line that will prompt some of us to buy the next version that certainly will be faster and more powerful and if that is true then be it so.

Gotta say "I agree with that".... and I only have an S not a Turbo.
For the roads I like to play on the Turbo S is a pleasant surprise with more than enough power to make for a quick and responsive canyon carver.....My Rs211 is getting dusty for the first time..
