Best thing about Pss10 is that you can adjust the fronts to soft and the rears to hard and it dials out some common understeer that a stock car will have.

So are people saying that pss9/10s will actually improve stock ride quality? As far as feeling every bump on the road? Cause I would love to lower the car a lil but do not want to sacrafice ride quality. I would love to smooth out the stock ride, which I feel is less than stellar

PSS9/10 provides a more compliant ride with improved handling - there is zero downside when compared to OEM.

Huh, strong absolute statment - I don't like those...

I find ride harder, no doubt about it but I don't care for it. It is not totally hard but on a crap roads you can really tell you have PSS10's fitted. . Can't have it all unless on full soft, which I doubt anyone who fits them will use.

Therefore, I would not say zero downside, some like their turbo set-up soft -

+1 for track.

However for the road you can turn that around and have a safe understeering car...

How this suspension can be adjusted? Can i do it using a tool? Or i have to take it to the garage?
Mine is from a 997 non pasm, used for less than a week. 1500$. Mechanics said on phone that will probably fit on my 4s. You think so?

By hand. Use a mirror, put under tyre and look for *** with numbers. For PSS10's 1-10, 10 = hardest. PSS9's the reverse is true.

Rear is a bit more complicated. **** are behind the the rear seats under the trim. You need to remove woffer and trim to get to the ****.

Hi,

It´s possible install a bilstein Pss9 or Pss10 without lower the car? (My garage has a big ramp.)


Thanks

I saw the specs and it seems that the minimum height reduction is 10 mm.
If you are not particulary interested in lowering the car, maybe focus at shocks replacement only like Bilstein B6.

Yep I also recall PSS10’s drop ride height by 10mm minimum over stock.

I went more. GT2 spec - no issues.

i don't think the 997 suspension will fit the 996, carefull with what you buy, get informed first.

Even C4 and C2 don't use the same.

That right there is probably your issue with your ride quality. GT2 ride height is too low for PSS10's on the turbo.
