Hi all,

After just 7 months of 911 ownership I've just been diagnosed with a stomach condition which is exacerbated by bouncing around in a hard suspension sports car. I`m gutted to say the least, I love the car and have put a lot into it.

To try and soften the blow, I`m thinking of a Cayenne turbo with air suspension but I`d like some thoughts on how it rides, particularly over pot holes and over speed bumps? I will test drive in due course but the nearest is 30 miles away so I thought I`d ask here first.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks, 20" do look much nicer but I may have to go with 19 or even 18" but I won't discount any until I've driven them.

Although, the one nearby has 22" wheels which I think I'll pass on.

My car is a 996 4S so no PASM available.

I've been looking on ebay and a set of 18" wheels can be bought for peanuts because everyone seems to want the bigger wheels. I think I`ll test drive the turbo, I`m sure it will be fine compared to the 911.

Just need to sell the 911 first, not a single bit of interest from the pistonheads advert despite what I think is a very reasonable price. Probably the location that the problem.

I have seen a few like this one that claims to have 18" wheels:

not sure about the differences between the Turbo and Turbo S.

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like a turbo on 18" wheels will do the job.
