I had a choice a few months back, went with the KW ones. Made the right choice, very well made (looks way more impressive than the Bilst), more adjustment (bound and rebound), for me was a better decision for a few $ more (You may also consider doing a sway bar).

$ wise you can get a better deal on the PSS10, your choice.

Let me know for KW, spend a little more for KW Variant 3 which has independent rebound and compression adjust ability. German manufactured stainless steel shock bodies plus lifetime warranty.

Does KW or Bilstein make a coilover that does not have the compression/rebound adjustment for P-cars? Like the V1 for example? It seems every coilover I've searched for has umpteen thousand adjustment points that I'll never use. I've found that on all of the cars I've owned that I've added coilovers, once I've set the ride height, I've never touched them again as far as damping settings. I figure why bother spending the extra money on something I'm never going to use?

We sell both KW and Bilstein, although lately we've been favoring KW. The additional adjustability is really a great selling point.

Question

Im extremly happy performance wise with the set up I have on my car as far as speed is concern, but I often wonder what im missing out on as far as switching to an higher performance system for shocks. Im not into tracking the car so my question is would there be an considerable difference as far as day to day driving? Can you really feel alot of difference coming around curves? $2500 plus seems quite a price for my type of driving.

Many people feel that coilovers improve the day to day driving feel of the car, even in comparison to the OEM PASM setup.

My experience was night and day - almost like a performance sedan to a go cart transition. A more "connected" feel, higher stability at speed, less pitch and dive.

Almost as if the 996TT was allowed to leave the factory "wussie" to appeal to some marketing need. (I think that applies to the exhaust note too; If you want the proper sound, buy the sport exhaust option).

Try another car with a set up before you buy, growing up on a bunch of British sports cars may have accustomed me to the feel.
