I wrote this in the following post a long time ago. So long ago that I don't remember where I got such detailed numbers, whether from talking to Bilstein tech/help desk, or from instruction manuals or documents. I therefore cannot vouch for accuracy and anyone pls correct as needed.

"FYI and one more important piece of info: For the Turbo, Bilstein's official recommendation is that ride heights be reduced 10mm-30 mm in the front, and 5mm-25mm in the rear. That is, they actually recommend that you do not use stock ride height, and that at least you should try to lower 5mm."

As a bonus his rate has always been very reasonable; no bs extra charge.

Lucent is also a GIAC dealer I believe, so if you are interested in an ECU mode, ask him about it. The advantage of being in LA is that you might be able to convince GIAC to do a custom tune for you, instead of just the generic one. This means they'll bring your car to GIAC shop and tune it on the dyno; IMHO a huge advantage over the generic tune and we are lucky to have it because GIAC is local.

Good luck and have fun. The Bilstein Damptronic will absolutely TRANSFORM your car.
Love the color matched air dam. Makes the car look that much lower.

Thank you for this thread. lot of great informations and also lot of your effort.
I love my .1 turbo, with tune, xpipe, pccb, dsc, pccm+ its really great B road (canynon ride)
What really helped for me with the rigidity of rear of the car was changing worn engine mounts for OEM 964RS mounts and also adding transmission spacers from Function first. I had DSC since I own the car (2021) and planning to add B16.
What do you suggest in 2024? Still B16 + sway bars? I was thinking about making my turbo RWD only with the 9ff kit, to gain some steering feel, would B16 also bring some steering feel? And how about lower control arms combined with B16?
I love Sport Contact 7, they are miles better then P4S I had before. (steering feel)

Thanks
