Looking to get the best Comfort Suspension for my TT daily driver being OEM shocks with after market springs or coilovers. Thanks guys

 

I am someone who is very keen on preserving as much of the character of our cars as possible.
Mods that seriously deviate from what Porsche set out with are off my list.
The case in point here is PASM.
While I am sure that there are a lot of excellent solutions out there for our cars for suspension, the ones that cancel out PASM functionality are not my personal preference, but, to each his own.

I've done a lot of research on this issue for when I am ready to upgrade my suspension.

The only upgrade I would personally install on my car would be TPC Racing's Pro Race Damptronic solution as shown here:

Just my $.02

 

GME springs and Sways...cant say enough good things about it, and mine is a DD not a track car

search for the threads on it

 

Thats actually a very good 2 cents worth K. TPC's look a great product if not the best.

The techart coilover combo which use the bilstein shock incorporating techart's own specially rated coil springs may also be a worthy contender.

A lift kit is also a must imo with a lowered coilover set up. Saves a lot of scraping and dodging .

 

I got this modification (along with a flash and dyno tune). I can't say enough good about it, really impressive combination of daily drivability (I drive to work from NVa to DC every day) and performance (eliminates all the issues with the stock suspension/sways/body roll). Plus, the TPC guys are pros and have given some great advice (ie, talking me out of mods as not worth the $$).

Recommend it highly.

 

TPC Racing's Pro Race Damptronic solution looks good the best choice but its $$$ more than what I wanted to spend. Could I get away with Bilstein Damptronic for good ride?

 

Can you tell me a bit about your ride comfort VS stock? The reason is I got my 3 year kid with me most of the time.

 

I've found KW V3s have been the best compromise between increased grip and ride quality. It's much firmer without being harsh. I'm sure Mike @ RSS can get more information for you on a set.

 

I made a thread like this a few months back. I was going to purchase the KW V3's but ended up just installing Champion springs instead. I have to say I am vey happy. I thought it was going to be bouncy and dolphin down the road but others with springs said otherwise and it doesnt. The PASM still works and actually feels better with the Ride on firm now. I picked up the springs for $150 and was about 5 Hours to put them in. This route I will always be able to go to coilovers if i decide to track the car and all I wasted was the time to install the springs.

 

I still love the ride of the Bilstein Damptronics. Works with PASM real well and perfect for a DD. It's adjustable so you can experiment with various ride height settings.

 

I'll echo what Robin said above. KW V3's are a fantastic system. PASM is a bit gimmiky and I think people hold on to it because since it came from the factory, it must be the best option. I would find it hard to believe that anyone uses the 'firm' setting on any regular basis. It's too stiff and jittery, and downright uncomfortable.

And just so I don't squander any opportunity to leave my negative experiences with Bilstein: do not buy any of their horrible products or be prepared to deal with THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE KNOWN TO MAN. I'm sure one of the sponsors here will chime in and they'll shovel you some crap as a biased vendor. As a actual (former) customer, I have spent thousands of dollars and weeks in the shop because of their terrible product with nothing but headaches to show for it. In the end, I cut my losses, threw the Damptronics in the trash (literally), and went with KW.
