A friend of mine is selling is PSS9 kit coming from his 996 Carrera 4S !
Does anybody know if this kit is the same used on the 996 Turbo ?
The codes are different but lots of things lead to think that they are absolutely equivalent !!!
Any help really, really appreciated !

 

why dont you call bilstein?

 

Already called ... they say that the codes are different and this means that they are different !
But direct experiences from many friends say that they are equal !
I would just like to have other feedbacks from people from USA !

In addiction, to my theory, Bilstein should explain me why their normal shocks (i mean B4, B6 and B8) have the same codes for all the 996 (with 4WD, carrera 4, 4S and turbo included) ?
This clearly means that the chassis of the 4WD versions (at least 4S and turbo) of the 996 are 100% equal.

But they call the PSS10 kit for the 4S and the Turbo with 2 different codes !

 

They really wouldn't tell you whether the spring rates are different? I would venture to guess that the valving is probably the same, but not sure on the springs. Is there a big weight difference between the 4s and turbo?

 

The wheight is not so much different ... i remember 1470 kgs for the 4S and 1540 kgs for the Turbo (but mine is 1490 kgs ) !

Of course the spring rate could be a very important difference !

Another source that brings feedbacks to my theory is FVD ... they sell the PSS10 kit for the 4S and for the Turbo with the same code !
