    Coilovers set up

    If I decide to go for Porsche, do you suggest me that a coilovers set-up is better than PASM??
    I know that KW produces adjustable coilovers, the better(and personal) choice for personal setting.
    So for you, which ones is the best and what offers more than others???
    I'm searching for adjustable coilovers, to have more choice
    The battle is between:

    KW

    Bilstein

    Koni (I don't know if there are adjustables)

    Fk

    Thank you so much and excuse my english.

    so you have a 996, in that case, if it is a non Turbo/C4S, go for the X74 suspension. - Porsche OEM.

    or, PSS9

    if it is a GT3, don't mess with it

    Re: Coilovers set up

    The 996 has PSM as an option while the 997 can optioned with PASM. From what I have read, the ROW 997S can be had with a sport suspension option that is unavailable in the US. Where are you located. The standard Porsche suspension is very good so the changes you make will depend on your intended use and budget. I use my 996 as a daily driver and I have had allot fun on numerous track days. I chose Bilstein PSS9's as they have a great reputation and Bilstein has been building shocks for Porsches for years. I'm very happy with the setup, but others may find it a bit to aggressive. The serious folks that I know have gone with Motons for track use. They are very stiff for daily use.

    Agree, I think X74 and PSS9 are the best choice, but I heard PSS9 would have some knocking sound when making a turn. I personally prefer X74 more cause' it's a factory option and very likely has less problem.
