KW coilovers for 997 Twin Turbo?
I understand from KW that their 996 coil overs also fit and work as they should with the 997 Twin Turbos? I've had some experience with their variant 3s before and they were excellent. I'd seriously consider the KWs for my 997TT if I could get some feedback from members who have 997TT experience with them. Are the 996 and 997 chassis the same? Hmmmm. If not, Bilsteins will be my choice (how exactly are they for daily driving re bumps?)
Thanks. K.

The KWV3's are very good from personal experience in other cars. I purchased a set of KWV3's but could not find anyone to disable the PASM. I had the instructions it was more of a liability on their end and they would not disable it. I returned them to get the Bilstein Damptronics with PASM.
I would love to have experienced the KWV3's but in the end I am happy with the Bilsteins..

Suspension is the first mode in my opinion. The stock suspension is a bit slushy especially on the track (notwithstanding my limited driving skills!).

I got the damptronics in a while back and I think the majority of the comfort is dependent on road conditions and ride height. Mine is set very low, as a result driving in NYC I would say that it is definitely not enjoyable. However, even with the low ride height once you are on the highway the car feels planted and the majority of the bumps aren't really bothersome.
I hear that if you raise the car a bit, or use their recommended ride height, the ride is pretty compliant, mine's been slammed from day one though. All in all though I still use it as a daily driver, I just mind the road a bit more, because once the pavement is flat, it's just so much more enjoyable.
On a side note, some female passengers who are rather top heavy (if you catch my drift) have complained about driving on city streets. If you have the same issue, recommend they wear a sports bra
