Hey all, Just picked up my first 911 a week ago, a 2003 4S Coupe 6mt with about 59,000 miles on it. Loving it so far, but I honestly am disappointed with the ride quality, and I seem to be able to find a number of other threads that say the same thing (confirmation bias?). Anyways, I am all about a firm and taught ride, but what I don't like is jarring. My car feels great in terms of spring rate and rebound, I have no bouncing what-so-ever. However I really feel like they did a poor job with the compression on these cars. It doesn't feel like the struts are absorbing anything at all on un-smooth pavement. Fortunately, there are a few options from OEM to hardcore and everything in between. I think the H&R streets are the product I'd like to try. PSS10s would be nice, but I am not sure I can justify the $1k cost over the H&Rs. Anyways, here's my question: I have a cup exhaust with no mufflers, no rear seats and no sub, rear end is probably about 70lbs lighter than stock Front has AWD removed, light battery and no spare/ tools, probably close to 150lbs lighter than stock I'd bet my car is a lot closer to C2 weight than to stock 4s weight, so would I be better off with C2 spring rates? Especially since I live on crappy-*** upstate new york roads. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It does seem like the C2, 4/4S, and turbos all have different spring heights and rates, so I wonder if the C2 ones would be more appropriate.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
