Suspenstion Suggestions?

I am thinking about upgrading my stock suspension. I am not planning on racing my car on the track, but I do want a better suspension. A lot of people on this forum seem to prefer the Bilstein PSS9. What would you suggest? Thanks.

PSS9 is great if you want the adjustability. However, if you just want to firm up the ride a little. Porsches ROW 030 sport suspension will do just fine.

I have PSS9 on mine and absolutely love it.

PSS9 not only lowers the car, handles better, but actually will give a smoother ride depending on the settings. M030 will just stiffen then ride.

Another vote for the PSS-9's. Handling is awesome and the look is great!

I got a brand new set of PSS9s in the box never used for a C4S. Let me know I will cut you a good deal.

yes, sharky did do it with james and kirby ontop of my pss-9's. i think the setting was 5/4. although i found it too springy for "action" so i set it 4/3. it's much improved now

what settings did your boys use?

pss9

you said "race", if so, try moton race shox, ohlins or jrz triples.

if you mean "track or DE" then pss9 or row030 should be fine.

I'd go for the JRZ doubles, they're price competitive with PSS-9's and better from what I read.
