Suspension upgrade question....

Have a 2004 996 tt x50 cab, purchased in January of this year. Quite happy with the engine power but considering slight upgrades to the suspension. I do not track the car but there are several interesting roads on this island I live on.What would be the best bang for the buck without pouring thousands of dollars into this.

Thank you for taking the time to address my suspension question. Will keep this in my 996tt file. Looks like this is a few years worth of projects cost wise. May look at doing some this winter...again thanks

yes a few years for a complete system add front toe links, ERP adjustable lower control arms and ERP thrust bearings.

IMO you should start with the coil overs and rear toe links and go from there, hope I have helped you in some small way.

That you have. This is my first modern 911 after 20 years of air cooled cars. Big difference. Thanks again.
