Lightbulb 996 sport suspensions analyzed - PCNA article

Found this article on PCNA and thought it might be of interest to those looking at 996 factory suspension upgrade kits. Contains a lot of detailed data, pics, tables, etc. Original link is here: http://www.pca.org/panorama/sample_article_3.html

Article is too big to post here directly.

Good article, I'd love to see some performance tests utilizing different common set-ups. Unfortunately only magazines that highlight Honda's do that type of thing.

both are substandard to the aftermarket offerings. heck the only factory suspension i'd actually consider if i didn't care for adjustability is the x73 package. the m030 is still too floaty for me.

except aftermarket offerings aren't legal for stock class competition . . .
