PSS10 Coilovers Installed on a 997 C4S

Just wanted to showoff our customers Porsche 997C4S that we helped him with. The silver C4S features HRE P40 wheels and the Bilstein PSS10 Damptronic coilovers. This customer uses this for everyday use and takes clients with him. To avoid any scraping or driving hazards, he decided the PSS10 would be best suited for him since he could lower the car less then .5inches front and rear. While keeping the stock ride height, the cars handling is still massively improved with the adjustable dampening and better shock reaction. The best part is it still works with the factory PASM system.

These coilovers are available on our store here - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=pss10

Does the 07 Targa 4S use the same model PSS10 as the C4S?

Hey Ed, you forget that we here in the USA are suffering dropping real estate values and currency value, not to mention banks and major institutions going under. If I had put some money in my Canadian account a few years ago, and bought real estate in Vancouver, I'd be able to afford the same toys as you.

Well hopefully things improve soon, otherwise we may not be too far behind!

Hopefully not too many people get hurt by the problems.

Yes, the sport button does still work with the Damptronics. The ride is almost half way between the normal and sport setting (in normal mode) of the stock suspension, and in sport mode it has about the same increase in stiffness. I have no regrets with this mod, awesome on the track and easy to drive over the bumpy city streets. IMO Porsche should have used this suspension as there stock setup. The parts are around $2500 + install.

hidesert is infamous around these parts
I've got this setup, too, and love it. Probably the single best mod for the 997S.
Can someone explain other suspension and handling upgrades that would be compatible with PSS10s?

I have these also, just got them installed last week. The rebound/damping is so much better than the stock shocks (which are pretty good already).
