So TPC dont use the 2 piece springs (helper springs) like the PSS10? Rating the stock set up as a 10 how would you rate the comfort level of the TPC compared to the stock ride comfort?
7-8. Definitely firmer, but controlled. If you think stock feels soft and not like a sports car, you'll like the change.

I can confirm that B16 is a bit too soft for track use. As such a setup with stiffer springs would be better. Does anyone know what TPC is using?

If you want to do the coilover route, I would go with single adjustable motons from gmg.

Great! Thanks! Let me see which suspension I eventually decide on. If I choose TPC, I'll definitely contact you. Thanks!

Scroll down to the bottom.
Thanks Casey, am also wondering a few things:

Are the settings/comfort level of Damptronics in the Stage3plus suspension package the same as your TPCracing Damptronic coilovers alone?

And how would you rate the comfort levels of your TPCracing system compared to the Bilstein B16 Damptronics and then again compared to stock PASM? (Of course in Sport mode it doesn't really matter, am more concerned about the Normal setting)

Also are there any potential squeaks, rattles or sounds that might come about with any the above setups?

Just had my Bilsteins installed and the difference is (definitely) night and day. On that note there was a 997 C4S owner who I was chatting with, who recently replaced his H&R sport springs + stock shocks with the bilsteins too. He’s comments were the same, upset with the stock and the H&R setup and loves the Bilstein Damptronic setup.

My question is how much of a difference will fitting sways + toe links give.

answer is massive. The sways are the most effective way to limit roll (springs are distant second). Also the easiest way to fine tune balance of the car (over vs under steer).
RE toe links the difference is quite big as well. When driving on high speeds the stability you get is very apparent immediately. P should really have installed better suspension components in the back of those turbo cars but they preferred letting things move around and PASM, PTM etc correct things constantly..

Sorry to be a pain and revert back to a very fundamental question - what are your comments on getting a PASM vs. a mechanical non-PASM suspension (like the KW V3s)?

Am I sacrificing a better suspension for the PASM function? Or is the PASM function better than or equal to the mechanical non-PASM suspensions?

Once again, for me, it's a 100% road car.

Thanks!
