Euro -20mm suspension pics needed!

Hello,

Is there anyone who has the -20mm Euro suspension installed on his 997C2? I'm curious how the drop looks.

Thanks!

Not the Euro suspension, but my drop is about 20mm on 20" TA wheels. Same overall outside diameter as 19" wheels with stock rubber.

I have the new Sport PASM on my 2009 C2S. It looks good, handles great, a little stiffer than the stock USA regular PASM. It is not as low as some of the H&R spring drop ride heights but close.

I just got off the phone with my Porsche dealer, and to install a -20mm kit, they charge €2500,-

A Bilstein PSS10 kit would cost me €3500,-...

wow- does that 2500 include parts plus labor?

Have you looked at KW suspension yet? You do not need to worry about PASM, and KW is a far better suspension for same cost if not less.
There is a group buy price in the forums here, from RSS: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post2324002

If you don't look into KWs and buy PSS10 without doing a bit of homework, you're really missing out!

Are you referring to KW V3?

For non-PASM C2S, what options do we have? I have checked on Bilstein's catalog and there's PSS9 for non-PASM C2S (PSS10 is not applicable but okay for C4S and even 996. Strange!). I attach Bilstein's catalog for your information.

What is the corresponding model of KW V3 for non-PASM C2S? I have difficulty understanding KW's online catalog!

Just contact Greg at RSS via the above group buy link. The "V3" is made for Porsche, BMW and a few other performance cars. If you order KW v3 for 997, you will get the correct kit.

Kit number for 997 C2: 35271015 Mfr List price: $2995
I think this should also fit non-PASM 997S

How about the H&R CO's??

I never hear anyone talk about them... are they about the same as the PSS except without the adjustment of the stiffness?

I rode in a 996 with them, didn't like it. Of course it's still better than the stock C2 suspension, but if I'm going to drop $2k-$3k for suspension I'm going to get the best one. KWv3 has the best features and road manners IMHO.. plus they never get crusty looking due to the all stainless construction. Nice under-car jewelry .
