Which is less stiff

Out of the following models, which car rides stiffer and is the difference noticeable?:

1) C4S w/ PASM set on normal
2) C4 w/ no PASM & w/20" wheels
3) C2 w/ no PASM & w/20" wheels
(Assuming same tires and on the same roads)

Thanks In advance

Ed-

1,2 then 3. They are already in order from stiffest to softest.

Is there a simple way of making he C4S less stiff without getting another model? I want the speed, looks and resale of the C4S but with the stiffness of the C2

Also here's another question... What makes the C4S more stiff than the C4 and C2?

You get higher spring rates with PASM

Is there an easy way to adjust settings on a C4S to make it less stiff?

Ok you guys I did quiet a bit of research regarding this issue and decided the best combo is the C4S with PDCC. for all the info on anti roll-bar specs per model as well as the spring rates etc check out post 385 and 391 on page 26 and 27 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...91-c4s-26.html

Cheers!

Thanks Sid... So if a C2 is 9N/mm softer setting than the C4S anti-roll bars, will adding PDCC and PASM to a C4S be similar to the comfort of a C2 with PASM & w/20"?

THanks

Hi!

There was just an article in "Auto Sport" - a german sports car magazine ... with main focus on real sports car ...... they´re writing that even Sport PASM ( SPASM ) delivers quite a good comfort on the C4S

Yep I'd say that statement is correct... but until we are actually able to drive it for ourselves it's all just deduction based on numbers and highly subjective comparison from journalist (most whom have never owned a 911...).
One thing though, PASM already comes with the C4S, S-PASM needs to be added separately...
I would say that it's all based on the experience I've had with the C2S

Cheers!
