Ok, I think that my 11 year old suspension is getting to be worn, and needs replaces. This is my wife's car So I can't go crazy with it, but I do take it to the track at Nelson Ledges, and Midohio at least 10-15 times a year and want to upgrade the stock suspension.

I want to keep it under $2000.00 and need advise. Here is what i'm finding in this price range.

-H&R coilovers, ($2k at Tirerack)
-Euro sport Suspension from Carnewal, ($2k).
-Possibly PSS9 but haven't found a good source.

ANY Ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

Unless you DIY, it will be hard to do good coilovers in 2k.

 

Yes, I will do all the work myself.

 

Search the classified section; they pop out once a bluemoon.

 

lowering springs an option for you?

 

Think about the factory X73 package. You might get it in about $2k if you do the labor if you can find a decent alignment shop. While you have the whole thing apart consider replacing the various rubber bushings as it's alway cheaper to do it once.

Another option

 

Coil Overs dont do anything else

 

I would do sway bars w/ links as well

 

I am leaning towards the ROW sport suspension/ ROW m030 if I can find it here in the US. I talked to Suncoast Porsche and they said they had it for $1400.00 but didn't know if it was the correct one for my car. Wanted me to check around the Forums for fitment. I didn't get a warm feeling about the parts fitting. I just want it to work a little better on track than the stock suspension if I gotta spend this kind of money.

 

I think a used (new will be over your budget) set of PSS9s or 10s will be your better option because it will give the comfort that your wife likes, and you can adjust it firmer on your track days.

 

i'm running that on my car. going to replace the springs to h&r's soon, but love the stance and handling of that setup. it works just fine. i should add, that it's a shockingly firm ride. too firm for many, i would think.

 

best thing to do is coil overs, drop links and strut braces. both my boxster and turbo have it done and the steering becomes so very precise.

save up a little while longer you wont regret the outcome.

 

does Suncoast has the X73? is not listed in their website

If you want simple, get the H&R, if you want a bit more complex to set up and can fork out another $300 over the two K maybe PSS10's

I'm in the same boat
