Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Morning all :-) Having thought I'd initially cured a creaky front left suspension with some bolt tightening it seems It was actually the damper letting go and just coincidently had a quiet day after I tightened the drop link up Car is 2007 2.7 base and on 82k miles so I knew it would need refreshing at some point. So. Any opinions on best options to go for? 1 - Replace with like for like/Bilstein B4? 2 - Upgrade to Cayman R spec and do PASM delete? 3 - Go for another passive set up? 4 - Go with option 1 and upgrade to a DSC controller in the future? Trying to keep the expense down as was hoping for a service only this year after a big spend on it last year. Car does not see the track but I do like how it currently drives on nice roads and have a week tour round Scotland just booked so this cant come at a worse time.
