Ordered a set of Bilstein pss10's...
 
From Tire-rack lowest I could find. My current set up is stock shocks and H&R lower springs I dont like it my car is to low and its bone shuddering. So after reading allot of posts on this and other forums decided to go with the bilstein's.
I think and hope I made the right choice.
Few questions that I have:
1. Can I start with just the pss10 and after add on some other components or not if not what are they, I dont want to spend a bunch more money at this point.(wife,kids,shoes, dresses...etc)
2. Best set up for street ocasional driving mostly weekends.
3. I dont want the car very low as close as possible to stock height but with improved handling. Here is a pick of the way the car is now.
4. From everything I read Bilstein's pss10 are compatible with my 2005 turbo s but it does not hurt to ask the experts, it is-right?

I am sure I will come up with some other questions as I get answers.
Thanks to ALL in advance.

Looks good have ur shop put a stage 2 track alignment on and fit a C4S front lip so you wont need to worry about getting caught up on drive ways or speed bumps.

Thanks for a kind word I had the car next to 997 TT and mine definitely beats the looks of the 997(not lowered) but its not the most comfortable ride...I have the c4s chin. The problem is that there is to much INF out here, but I definitely want PSS10's inn my car.

I have PSS9's on mine and I love them just a click on each shock if I want to soften the ride not that I ever do :D Also think about drop links the stock ones bend badly on any fast corners or roundabouts they are a very worth while addition for not much over 500 bucks.

what you want after you fit the pss10's and the drop links is a stage 2 track alignment it will suit your weekend needs perfectly. Excellent turn in and straight line stability with out excessive added tire wear.

Take my advise I guarantee you will be over the moon.

Cheers,
Tim
