So which is the best coilovers to go with for a 996tt with 19" wheels and want to keep the car sitting low?

Motons, if affordability comes into play, JIC cross IMO!

As I stated above,I just purchased PSS10 so there is no way i will buy another suspension now...During next days i will find a solution...99% I will raise up the coilovers and modify(lower) the upper part of the shock,so to establish travel of the axle while maintain the car in low height...I will see...

Hate to admit this but as I have hard metal motor mounts with PSS9s and Cargraphic 19s which is my daily driver with Goodyear Winter tyres, slowly but surely I am now on 9 setting front and rear and it is still not OEM soft believe it or not

You meant that you have PSS set at 9(which is the hardest setting) and still it is not as soft as OEM?I am not with you...

On PSS10's the higher the number the harder the setting. On PSS9's, the lower the number the harder the settings. 9 is the softest on PSS9's...

I installed PSS10 and H&R bars. The front is dropped 1.50" and the rear 1" from stock, street alignment, front shocks on 8 and the rears on 6. Front bar in the middle position and the rear bar 3rd position. The understeer is gone and the front end is less prone to float at higher speeds. The front does run out of travel if the suspension is loaded up in a turn with any bumps in it. This set up is acceptable for the street but I doubt would be very good on the track. I'm thinking dog bones and toe steer link in the rear is the next step without killing street ride quality.

There is a suspension gury guy here that can open the PSS10,modify the internal of the shock so to lower the car without minimizing the stroke of the suspension...He told me that he has done it to 996TT and 997TT with success...on Monday i will go tohis store so to find out...Has anyone else done that?
