H&R Clubsport suspension or Bilstein PSS 9

I am a rookie on this forum and I am trying to figure out which way to go with a new supension.
I have a 996 turbo X50 that I really like and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with H&R clubsport supension compared to PSS 9.

I use the car on the streets as well as on the tracks.However I do not mind a firm ride. Are there any advantages using H&R versus PSS 9?

Thanks

The PSS9s have softer spring rates but have adjustable dampening. The H&Rs do not. It depends on how much adjustability to you want?

I am gonna use the car on tracks like Spa and Nürburgring and a few other ones. I am not the kind of person who has a lot of knowledge to adjust the dampers. So I guess I let a workshop install and adjust it and then I leave it that way.

Pros and cons for H&R clubsport then?

Well the club sports for sure have more aggressive dampening and spring rates so I would likely try those if you're a track guy.

I just installed a set of RUF PSS9. I couldn't be happier with the set up. Their kit also has a sway bar included. Whichever one you pick, you should consider the GT3 sway bars.
