...and is also the deciding factor if I keep the car or not. My suspension is bone stock with pasm always in "normal" mode, but still very harsh for the roads I drive on....and yes its my daily driver. Is there an aftermarket susp that can help me keep my car?

 

Sorry to hear that. Are you riding on 20 inch wheels? Maybe consider going back down to 19s or even 18s?

 

No, I'm running the oem 19" sport design wheels, however I have thought about going to 18's....not sure how much of a difference that would make. I really would like a susp that is adjustable from soft (softer than oem) to firm. Is that possible?

 

There isn't really a softer suspension you can get I don't think. Most will be much stiffer. The way to go will be increasing the sidewalls of your wheels... not even 18"s, but 17"s and make the wheel narrower and your sidewalls higher.

I have noticed that when I went from 255/45-18 to 285/35-18 for my rears the ride quality degraded dramatically.

 

I agree that there is not much difference in ride from 19" to 18" wheels.

 

Sorry to hear of your plight...
18's will give better ride compliance.
Check your tire pressures as well

 

hey billy, the PASM PSS kit is actually quite nice and more compliant so it doesn't move around as much....It'd be best to try one before you buy it though.

 

Consider a coil over install w/ adjustable shocks. You might be able to dial it down a bit for the roads...but for the most part its not the perfect car for bad roads.

Recent posts suggest PASM has now been cracked so it can be disabled w/ a coil over install and you wont get the annoying warnings.

Its just a big investment that might not be a good fit for your needs.

 

I would try what Alex is saying first. He knows far more than I ever will on these cars

 

I know, Alex is my hero too. I have an appt with him next week. BTW what about the custom valving I have heard of from moton. I remember way back a 6speeder posted that his motons gave him a more comfortable ride than the stock setup. What's up with that? Also, I am not concerned about disabling the pasm if I have to.

 

Have you thought of buying another 997? Like a cabriolet this time? They are softer an decent. I went from a 1980s era 911 mit aftermarket turbolader to an 06 cab and find the ride similar. Not too severe. I think the coupes are quite rough.

It sounds like you need to get your self into one of those luxboats that Alex has I am sure he could arrange a swap with you

 

I really dont want to get rid of my car, especially since it is supercharged. Does anybody know if my pccb's will fit under the oem 18's? I may be interested in trading my 19's for 18's..

 

That's a good question. I don't know if you can go 18's with the Ceramics...

Those are pretty big brakes.

 

time for a benz.
