Thank you. In person/in reality it is very low, almost too low. For example I could just barely fit my fist underneath the front lip/spoiler, and in fact have been thinking about raising it 5 mm as I am scraping everything in site .

 

Same here - I rarely visit here except for when I have problems or when someone posts in this thread.

Thank you and good to hear from you. It almost feels like a high-school reunion seeing the "old" names again.

 

Epic thread indeed.

I just ordered the full Tractive DDA RTx setup from TPC. I'm doing the full track springs (110/150nm I believe). I'll be sure to review them here after I spend some time with them. I've become an avid track junkie + mountain/canyon carver every weekend.

I already had the TPC wide track kit which is basically sway bars, front LCA's, front spacers, DSC module for stock shocks. This time is the full set of RTx coilvers, rear 997.2 Cup LCAs, rear subframe bushings, rear toe links, and sway bar endlinks with teflon covers (for reduced NVH).

There's nothing to do after this unless I start stripping the car to save weight or change the tire choice to a different diameter tire (vs OEM tire height now).

 

Hi there. So I I wanted to get rid of the floatly feeling, just swapping our the drop links will help? Would I need to get new sway bars too?

 

Hi it's a system approach and what works depends a lot on personal preference and the road condition where you drive, etc.

If your car is completely stock I would vote for sway bar and drop link as the minimal first step, with the sway bar set to soft in front and medium stiffness in rear. Then test drive and see. If you don't feel the change is enough then you know you are looking at next step, which is lowering spring or coilover etc. Critical to use a good shop with an experienced tech so he could test and advise you if necessary.

What suspension mod is in your car now?

 

Nice! And clearly becoming a track junkie - good for you. Thanks.

 

100% bone stock. That said, I purchased eibach springs a while back. Just didn't have the confidence that changing the springs would achieve a better ride. So they are still in the box. I would do the springs just to close the fender gap though.

But the bouncy and the lateral sway is what I would like to tighten up. So I guess sways, drop links and the spring would be a good combination for a DD?

 

I would try the TPS Racing's DSC Box. It WILL get rid of the Lateral sway feeling definitely, even with the stock Dampers. I guess it should help control the "kangaroo" dance feel too.

 

Thanks. I did have the tpc DSC unit and it worked great. I sold it due to a high pitched electrical sound emitting from the unit. Tom at tpc swapped it out with a new box but same issue. Tried wrapping it with EMF fabric and grounding it to the car, didn't work. The benefit of the handling didn't out weight the annoying "eeeeeeee"

 

Most definitely - especially for you since you already have bought the springs. The key is that all of these changes are reversible, meaning if for some strange reason you don't like it (I doubt it since these are fairly benign changes), they could be reversed.

Also keep in mind these are changes you feel with sporty driving on curvy canyon roads & at the track, etc., not with city driving.

 

Figured someone here might know, I'm having trouble locating B16 Damtronics for my 2007 997TT. Seems like a lot of places are advertising them but no longer carry them. Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Try Tom @ TPC Racing.

 

Thanks!

 

I am surprised if this were true, but if it is, grab one quickly! :-) Another great source to ask about and buy all things Bilstein is http://www.awe-tuning.com/bilstein-b...onic-49-135817

AWE is an extremely reputable tuner and has been around the Porsche forum a long time.

 

I did as suggested. Removed the TechArt Main and helper springs from the front. Installed 6" long (ID 70mm) SWIFT Springs (336 ld.ft)(SWI Z70-152-060) and retained the nose lift of TechArt.

In the rears, removed the TechArt main spring and replaced with Swift Springs (Z70-203-100) (10 kgf/mm, 560 lbs/inch). Retained the Helper springs.

Replaced all top mounts with TARETT mounts. Then aligned the car. Front and back camber set to -1.5.

This set up has raised the car height to clear 95% of the speed bumps in and around town. I use the the "nose lift" function only and only for the "car-breaker" bumps.

Took it for a long ride of about 400 kms which included long straights and few twists. The ride is much more comfortable. but not at the cost of handling. Straight line high speed stability is very good (except a little floaty feeling beyond 200 kmph). long turns are also handled with great confidence. Did not have sharp turns and/or chicanes to push the car... BUT ALL IN ALL.. a true bulletproof supercar... have ordered the TARETT drop links.. will wait to install and then corner balance.. and post again after another long drive...till then, cheers.. and drive safe....
