If you like the way Arzo 997 looks, we are still honoring our Bilstein PSS10 and JIC Cross Blow Out Sale Prices in the Vendor Classifieds. You can also see the specials here - http://www.vividracing.com/forums/porsche-products/

It is more neutral, lighter effort and more precise. Sport mode is usable, not just harsh. Here's the link:

With PASM off (standard) the suspension is a little more rigid than stock, but in outhandles stock by a big margin. More precise, less roll yet still pretty comfortable. If PASM did not have a sport mode I could be happy with standard mode.

With PASM on (sport) it feels like a pretty serious track weapon. It is a little rough like stock (you feel just about every ripple and texture), but it is much more usable than the stock suspension in sport mode. Things seriously tighten up and cornering is very sharp with steering inputs getting immediate response. I have an H&R rear sway bar, but I am thinking about adding the front to eliminate a little more body roll.

I think the Bilsteins are probably the best MOD I have made. Not cheap but totally worth it.
