Finally got my car back from my Porsche tech with the Bilstein and H&R sways installed. Although there is definitely a clearance problem and associatd annoying clunk with the rear bar, I chose to put it on instead of having an H&R front and stock rear...
I have never done a write-up before so the language might be a bit subjective. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I lowered my car to a bit higher than Ken's car (I think my tech, Mr. Bob Fitzgerald - many thanks for an excellent job -, dropped it 30mm all aorund - will post pics on my Hobbystage when it stops raining and I can wash my car).
The first thing I ntoiced was the steering was a lot tighter and more precise. It needs a bit more effort than before but I think that's how a sports car is supposed to feel. You just point the wheel and the car goes there as if it is laser guided. A lot of the flimsiness from the stock suspension is gone.
Secondly, I took the car on a road with many rotaries and what I noticed was that there is a lot less body roll. Before, I owuld have to keep adjusting for the car being pushed out from the turning circle whereas now it holds itself very steady as if it was on rails!! There is a turn on my way hme that is a bridge over a river and is at a slight angle. The car usually drifts towards the upper/outer part but today, it gripped like never before. I am really impressed.
Another point I noticed is that usually, after you take a bump with the stock suspension, the car rebounds/recoils a lot!! The nose bops up and it is sometimes annoying. With the PSS-9, after the initial hit, the car does not recoil nearly as much - I guess waht I am trying to say is that the suspension absorbs the impact a lot better.
Last point to mention is that I was hoping the car would stop the 'bopping action' on WOT (see sharkster's signature for the effect I am talking about) but I guess there is no fix for that!!

 

Good report!

lemme see some pics soon!

 

Mansour,

First of all, congratulations on finally getting your suspension installed, I know you will enjoy it.

What settings are you running? Maybe it is set on one of the softer settings. I have settled on #3, F&R and the RUF PSS-9 (set on 3) eliminated the WOT squat, as well as, the heavy braking dive. I can stand on the brakes or apply full throttle in the torque band in 2nd and the nose remains practically level. It is very difficult to induce any noticable squat and dive.

At night, the headlights used to shoot into the sky under WOT and light up the ground five feet in front of the car under heavy braking with the stock suspension. I have tried to duplicate this with the PSS-9 installed and can barely detect any movement from nuetral.
