I live in Taipei Taiwan. Here we got real xxxxed up roads. Real messed up. Lots of stop and go traffic. Of course, occasionally I get to escape the city. My Bilstein PSS ( none adjustable ) is currently dying. I bought my 2002 Carrera tiptronic Last October in a rush. I just bought Plenum. I am thinking to get new suspension for my C2. Actually, I am thinking if it's worthy for me to spend another 2k usd on it. General, the car prices are double here in Taiwan or I should say the entire Asia. Since we all know 997 are the king but it's getting a facelift in the summer. I have all show on my car but the only go are K&N drop in filter, agency power exhaust. ( incoming plenum ) I am rolling on 19" and yes it's kinda painful but I gotta admit it looks hot. 997 is way way too much money. Just double the amount compare with states. Also one of my biggest concern is I should have gotten a stick!!!!! Since my C2 daily driver I feel kinda bad. I don't feel so great driving the 996 has a daily driver. Taxi and cabs are everywhere here and it's dirt cheap. I baby my 996 a lot. Everyone here suggest to get a 996 tt. But realistically, due to the environment there's no track and no open space to run the car to the limit. I think all the 996 turbos owners here got it because of the shallowness. Because you really can't drive that fast here.

As we all know, cars depreciate, if I want to sell my 996. I will have a hard time selling it and loose a lot of money. 15k at least. There aren't many 02+ 996 available here. It all comes down if my car is worthy. For me to spend more on this C2.

 

Holy triple post hell

 

if you're asking whether to get pss9s, then yes.

 

I have pss9s in my car and I love them. However, I just dont see the point of getting them for taipei roads unless you go spirited driving outside the city. If you are stuck in traffic 80% of the time and on crappy road, whats the point? Just my opinion.

 

First, you have to get a shrink who is willing to hear you out. J/K..

PSS9s are the way to go.

 

my vote yes....it makes the car feel like a real sports car

 

i think his thread title was the only piece that made sense to me.

 

One of the best mods I've done to my car!!!

 

how come your English is so good?

 

hmm I guess I will get PSS9. I was thinking of KW V3 but due to it's high price. I will get PSS9! Also I forgot to mention my car's mileage. Currently it's 49k km But I am not sure if that's the actual mileage. I plugged few computers and my DME shows approximately the same mileage. 2nd hand cars here usually get their mileage adjusted easily here. So I am not even sure my 2002 C2 only has 49k km mileage. sigh

 

Just enjoy it and stop worrying about the mileage/resale value/not being a turbo/potholes. You already bought the car so live the moment and be glad with what you have.

Outside of Taipei city, there are plenty of places to take your car up to higher speed (north 2nd fwy). Besides, I'm sure you have one of those radars and you probably know where all the functioning cameras are.

If you are really afraid, pm me and I'll forward you the license plate flip-up kit info. It worked wonders for my friends.

 

I would wait...bilstein has released the PSS-10 they are electronically adjustable from inside the car...same shocks as the PSS9 but you can control them from inside the car.

They have not hit the market yet but they were at SEMA this past year.

 

haha, you are right. Nah I don't really want to mod the license plate. Yup I got the latest conquer radar. I really love 911.

 

i say yes.... btw, your ride is gorgeous...

 

yep....super nice 996.

have you thought about X74 suspension??
