I've had my car(996TT) for about 9years and one of my first mods was getting the suspension done so I went with Jic cross suspension now I mainly use my car do some mountain runs, DEs, and the occasional time attack. I don't have any complaints about the jic they have performed flawlessly but 9yrs is a long time and I'm sure technology has moved on and improved! I'm thinking about motons or jrz? I've also heard some good things about Anzesuspension anyone running Anzesuspension? Just wondering if it's worth the cost to move on from jic. Opinions please.
Thanks

I have a JRZ setup on my car. Its the TPC Stage 4 kit seen here:

This setup is amazing!!! I have Eibach springs 700/800 with it.

 

I have MCS, which is the new Moton, and it is fantastic! I could not be happier with it, and was amazed at the immense improvement.

 

I've never driven it, but I've heard very very good things about JRZ from my stint in the M3 world

 

JRZ is definitely one of the best you can buy, if not the best, but it comes with a hefty price tag. By far the best suspension I have ever had on any car I have owned. That kit came with the car when I bought it. (Its over 13k for that kit)

What about the Ohlins Road and Track setup? Doesn't break the bank ($3600 MSRP without upper mounts) and Ohlins are some of the best dampers out there. I have JIC's now but I'm seriously thinking about switching to the Road and Track setup when funds permit.

I had Stasis Motorsports (2-way adjustable Ohlins) on my B5S4 and they were unbelievable. Sporty and stiff but were more compliant than stock suspension over large bumps.

 

That's another option that I haven't thought about but I'm not sure it's on the same "level" as the others Moton, MCS , jrz but who knows I'm not an expert that's why I'm trying to gather as much info so that I can justify the expense to move on from my jic? I'm wondering are these newer suspension systems that much better than my "old" set up

 

IMO, it depends on what you want to do with your car. Motons, MCS and JRZ are all at least 2 way adjustable. So you're going to get a much more track oriented suspension. But with that means more adjustability (and if you don't know what you're doing, a crappier ride) and, potentially, more maintenance.

The Ohlins R&T are designed for the street and track so they can put up with salt and all the other stuff we put on our east-coast roads. They are one-way adjustable so the setup will be simplified as well. They would be a great compromise for a primarily street driven car but if you're looking for a track setup they aren't nearly as adjustable as the MCS, Motons or JRZ's.

If money is no object and you want a track oriented setup, throw a custom PSi suspension Ohlins TXX setup into the consideration-mix.
