996 turbo over potholes and bumpy roads
With a lowered suspension (ie coilovers), but with good tires, how good/bad is the ride in a 996 turbo going over bumps on roads ?
I ask because I haven't purchased it yet, and am a very good 5/6spd manual driver that doesn't "jerk the car causing the passenger" to spill their drink.
but I have to factor the overall ride comfort, as my passengers as do I, like to enjoy coffee drinking.

My 03 is stock with the 18" wheels/tires but even so it rides harsh enough to warrant comments from some passengers.
BTW, no passengers are allowed to drink coffee or anything or eat anything while in the car.
Heck I don't even drink coffee in the car. I stopped this practice after I bought my first Porsche.

What do you mean 1" larger diameter tires? You mean wheels?
I, like you, plan to drive my turbo year around in Chicago.

you can setup the stiffness on some oil coilovers, I liked PSS9's very nice coils, I used to have them on my m3 and went thru 4 winters, no rust/

Ride is a bit stiff on PSS9 setup. My wife doesn't complain and it feels luxurious to me... My other toy car is a moderately track prepped S2000. That will knock your fillings out just riding over pebbles in comparison. Strangely enough she doesn't complain about taking either car out. Guess I am lucky...
