Great looking car! I just got my 2009 C2S about 2 weeks ago from Pacific Porsche. I'm gonna have to take it on PCH like you did. The beautiful scenery matches the car. Does it ride that much stiffer compared to stock?

I think a weekend meet up to put the cars through the canyon paces is in order. Who's game? Gonna be an awesome weekend this weekend.

As for the question, yes, I'd say the ride is slightly stiffer than stock springs. I can't say I had a lot of driving in P cars before my current ride, but I do remember feeling poor roads alot less in test drives. But I wouldn't say it's too harsh that I'd go back to stock.

I could be convinced of this. What day/time are you thinking?

BTW, I just ordered the BBS wheels (in black) and springs from Wheel Enhancement in culver city this morning.

Well if folks are interested, lets take a drive on Sunday after Topanga car show. We can leave the parking lot at 10am, take Topanga straight up over the hill, run up PCH to 23, and then up 23 to the 101.

I may head there tomorrow but I like to rip up the smaller roads, usually Las Flores or Latigo up to Mulholland. Example: PCH to las flores, head up las flores, right at the Y, then to Mulholland, hang a left, then up mulholland, left on kana, then left on latigo to PCH. If I'm feeling adventurous i'll take Yerba Buena.

I am totally good with this. Don't take my suggested road as the best place to go. So, we'll all head out at 10am?

Ugh, I got stuck in the OC today and couldn't get up to the valley (and worse couldn't login to this site via my phone for some reason?!).

Would be great to organize a canyon run in the next few weeks.
