Alex did a really nice job documenting his installation process, and is collecting data for suspension geometry in various forum members' cars.

Wow - I have just been out for a 2 hour spin down some countryside roads and I am delighted to say that sport mode is BACK on the menu!

Now that my Dampeners have been raised up to -15mm from OEM after they spent the last 3000 miles dropping even the Mrs can't believe how much smoother the car is now even over rough potholes at slow speeds!


If you do now find some flat-ish fast roads and engage sport mode then the car immediately sharpens up and leans less through the corners (countering the soft front GMG sways I have set now), all without knocking out your teeth like it use to with the Damptronic kit. ie. it's tolerable again, and not only that, it's fantastic!!


So I repeat once again to anyone who has Bilsteins fitted... After 3-5000 miles go back to your suspension specialist and get them to adjust the dampeners ride height to either -15mm (or I think -20mm would be fine now for those who track a lot). And please please please insist they measure from the Porsche official ride height places under the car (several times for consistency) as described earlier in this thread, and NOT from wheel arches!!


Boy I love my car now!! It is now perfect for me in every way
