Hey everyone, just wanted to share this 2008 Porsche 997 Turbo that stopped by the shop. We added a set of Bilstein PSS10 coil-overs and Ground Control Camber Plates to help in the corners. The Bilstein B16 DampTronic kit is designed to integrate directly with the exclusive Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system. This coilover system of monotube shock absorbers has been fine-tuned to produce the finest performance possible from the car's electronically controlled suspension module. The threaded body additionally allows for adjustable lowered vehicle ride height of 30mm to 50mm. Bilstein's patented Triple-C-Technology coating ensures long-lasting resistance to corrosion. Add in the Ground Control Camber Plates to allow fast, repeatable alignment changes at the track while still retaining the ability to run the stock springs and spring perch. The great thing about them is that they are compatible with the PASM system!! Then we added a set of 1521 Carbotech Brake pads, that offer a lower level of dust and improve performance while increasing rotor life, to bring everything back to a stop when it's time to stop the fun for the day. This 997 is also equipped with 7mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers out back.

Looking at doing the same - beautiful.

 

Sounds good, let us know when your ready, we would love to earn your business when the time is right.

 

Quick update on the 997 for everyone. After installing the Bilstein coil-overs our customer decided it was time to add a little more look to his Porsche. To start things out a set of ADV-1 5.01 SL wheels in Matte Black were installed, 19x8.5 in the front and 19x12 in the rear. These tires were built and machined to fit perfectly on the 997 without the need of any spacers or centering rings. After mounting stock 235/35ZR19 tires up front and the 305/30ZR19 out back the car was sat down and ride height adjusted.






We also have more things to come on this build and we will keep everyone posted as it progresses.

How do you compare the Bilstein with KW-V3?

 

As for performance they are very similar and very good quality brands. However we primarily use Bilstein for Porsche's equipped with PASM. Bilstein developed PASM and the stock suspension so their PSS10's work with the factory PASM switch with zero faults. So instead of having 10 different dampening adjustments there is just two (PASM OFF/ON) KW does not offer this and you have to buy additional resistors to plug into the factory PASM harnesses to trick the system from not tossing an error light on the dash.

 

emailed you on a set PSS10s wPASM

 

Which email did you send it to because I haven't received it to my direct one. Did you send it to info@gmpperformance.com?
