ride quality

How would you all describe the ride of your 996tt? Stock and the cars with after market suspension ? did lowering car affect rid equality much ?

Mine is stock, 62,xxx miles and its firm and hates crap roads. Lately it's developing at rattle/clunk thats driving me nuts so I guess my next project is replace all the rubber in the suspension to tighten her back up. Thinking about KW V3 as an upgrade too.

Bought mine bone stock and drove her that way a couple years before lowering with PSS9. Night and day! Rides 100% better now.

Mine has 13k miles the ride is firm but comfortable with zero rattles etc but am sure after market would be an improvement.

I recently lowered mine about 1 inch with Bilstein PS10's and I agree the difference is night and day. It is a firm but comfortable ride on the street but a quick change to the coilover settings greatly improves the ride on the track.

Mine is on pss10's lowered about 3/4", handling is firm and responsive but can be quite rough on bad roads. I blame this mostly on the stiff little 19" rubbers it currently rides on though.
