KW clubsport suspension

I am thinking of changing my bilstein with pasm suspension and go with KW clubsport on my 997 turbo. (Not the v3).
Anyone has tried this suspension?? Any suggestions?

Thank you.

my friend is running KW clubsport on his 997.2 GT3 and he is very happy with it. The car is tracked often. I am unsure of the clubsport on the Turbo. I am very happy with my V3's except for a very small squeak on front passenger side.

Clubsports can be daily driven but the ride is pretty harsh. I've been in a couple Clubsport-equipped cars. On my 997.2, I recent went with single adjustable Ohlins, end links, LCAs (wider track), corner balance, and some other bits but still need to dial it in a little. The ride is not as harsh but somewhat of a performance trade off. Clubsports are just that good.


While my car was at the shop, a well known auto racer had his daily driver 996 turbo at the same shop and KW was there working with the shop on a custom Clubsport for his car. The goal was an attempt to achieve Clubsport handling with better comfort. Not sure what happened but I'd personally love that combo.
