Best road suspension for a 996

[EGTE]

Hi Guys,
I have an M030 996.2 Carrera 2 and I'm looking to upgrade the suspension a bit. However, by upgrade I mean make it a little more fluid, to improve ride and traction, without raising the ride-height at all (or just barely), as the stance is just right for me.

I did rashly contact Exe-TC for what would be the very best, but their prices are shall we say.....motorsport level, not enthusiast level. No doubt worth every penny, but just not justifiable, given the value of my car.

I have tried Bilstein B12 (soft, progressive-rate Eibach springs and B6/8 dampers) kit on an Audi RS once and it was a tremendous improvement (but it was an Audi, right....), but I'm open to alternative makes/models. The Ohlins might be too stiff, sadly (spring rates are damned high). The car will not be tracked; it's just for road use.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip - looks like I need to buy that magazine!

Anyone had experience of fixed-rate stuff (i.e. not "coil-overs")?

Thanks a lot, cmoose (and others!)

I will most likely do the PSS10s.

M444TB, that Carnewal website that choose pointed me to has Bilstein B4 dampers (basically your OEM kit) pretty cheaply priced, if you're looking to spend a bit less than PSS10s.

All Billys are good dampers.
