Hi,

I would like to redo the suspension on my 996TT. However, I don't want that bouncing effect (that i have with the H&R springs) nor to sacrify a lot of comfort. I do track the car 1 or 2 time a year, but that is not the main purpose for the car. I am considering the PSS9 since I have read many good things about them. My question is, how soft is the "softest" you can get from the PSS9 (let's compare to stock) ? I won't ask how stiff it can be when set to "hard, my guess" since I am pretty much sure it will fit me track needs...

Thanks

Also, who is having the best price on PSS9 ??

 

If you are getting a bouncing effect, it means your springs and shocks are not properly matched to each other.
As far as the stiffness, the settings on an adjustable shock are meant to match the rate of the spring or in the case of the PSS9s to provide adequate enough dampening for the height that they are set at. There will be a limited range of adjustment that you can effectively use depending on where your springs are set. Running them on too soft of a setting will create both ride and handling issues and potentially damage the shocks.
I have not used them on a Porsche, but have them on another car and have driven other cars with them and I think the PSS9s ride quite well when they are setup properly. They are very street complaint and are OK for performance driving.
You should also take a serious look at Porsche's X73 suspension as another option.

 

It's pretty soft due the two spring setup. Especailly when it not lowered more than 1". It is definitely much softer riding than stock and has the added benefit of much better handling when you push it.

 

Softest is softer than stock with the PSS9

I guess as some have already said..."softness" is the wrong term. PSS9 when installed properly give a much better ride (handle bumps for example) than stock. The settings (dampening) are not exactly softening, but change the "speed/rate" of recovery. Some will argue the slower the speed/rate (setting 7,8,9), the softer the shock...not sure here. IMO they are simply way better than stock!

 

Well said and I completely agree the PSS9 give way better ride quality over stock. I have experienced it on many Porsche and BMWs.

 

get pss9's they can get pretty soft u can pm 20c4s here ont he board he can help u out and can even order u a set...
