Can a PSS9/10 (non Damptronic) be set as comfortable as the Normal mode of PASM? Or put this in another way, to make a PSS9/10 as comfortable as Normal mode of PASM, what is the likely setting for the front and rear?

My 997 doesn't have PASM but instead it comes with EURO -20mm Sports Suspension. The ride is just too stiff and I would like to replace it with PSS9/10 to allow a comfort setup for my daily street use.

Any hints?

 

I'm in a similar shoes too. My c2 non pasm is too harsh. I feel every bump. If i upgrade to pss10 and set it at softest setting, will my car ride more like pasm normal mode?

 

My Damptronics set in Normal mode on the PASM switch are stiffer then the OEM in Normal mode, and seem to be half way between the two OEM settings. I would imagine that the PSS9/10 would not go any softer then the Damptronics. I have no problem driving mine on the street as is, I got use to the stiffer ride very quickly.

 

Thanks NorthVan.

I would imagine that the stock non-PASM is somewhere in between the PASM's Normal mode and Sport mode, and my -20mm is somewhere in the middle of the non-PASM and Sport mode of PASM's.

Some people say the PSS could ride as comfortable as PASM's normal mode, or even better (less bumpiness but still firm). So I guess it's all about how we get the right setting for different road surfaces.

My -20mm is very bumpy and sensitive on poor roads! It's good on good roads with minimal body rolls I have to say.

Anyone got the PSS9 or PSS10 (not the Damptronic one), please kindly share your experience.

 

with most adjustable coil overs, the softest setting is couch like soft. thats the case with V3's

if you want to go softer than normal, you can go with the v3's and set to a very soft setting. if its still too stiff for your taste, then the spring needs changing to a lighter set. springs are very cheap for coil overs.

remember, the adjustment is just for the shocks, but soferter springs can also be substituted.

with an adjustable coil over, the sky is the limit on how stiff or soft you want it...

 

I would say that it feels more comfortable then stock in Normal.

 

Thanks Bara!

Am I wrong to say that PSS9/10 can possibly do the similar soft setting?

I know I am in a 911 and won't demand anything like Lexus. I just want it be less sensitive on bumpy roads!

 

i would get the v3 or motons just to be sure as i know those have lots of spring choices just in case its needed. im not sure what the pss10 has to offer but i would guess that at their softest setting, they are softer than any stock 911 suspension

 

Thanks NorthVan and Bara for your inputs!

I was told that the prices for PSS10 and KW V3 are close, at around $2400. If that's the case, going for KW V3 (the more sophisticated one) couldn't be wrong?? Is it very difficult or tricky to set?

 

i have the v3 on the viper. its a very nice system. though i think the v3's are closer to 3 k for the c2. the viper set are 3.3k. could be wrong on this though regarding the C2 so check around for prices.

the v3 on the viper was very straight forward. set the height to what the instructions tell you. then after a lap around the neighborhood, measure the car to see if its level and even. if not, make adjustments as needed. very easy really. the whole job took 8 hours from start to finish and thats with breaks and reading the instruction book and taking my time. i could do a second set on the viper in 3-4 hours on jack stands

 

Is today PSS10 (the non-Damptronic one) more expensive than KW V3??

Any sponsors here offer good price for PSS10?
