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.

18 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

At the risk of starting "yet another" type thread, I'm looking for feedback on various coil overs people have tried I'm leaning towards the KW setup, but anyone know the + and - versus Bilstein PSS 10 or other kits - Ohlins? Any input greatly appreciated For mainly street driven car

POST 2Original post

Quite a lot of the guys in the turbo forum on Rennlist enjoy the Ohlins as a daily driver. A few of them argue that while they're great for the street, they could use better/stiffer springs for the track.

POST 3Original post

Overkill. Daily driving Ohlins is like bringing a cannon to a knife fight. Get a hold of X73 suspension from Porsche and be done with it. It is the factory tuned ROW sport setup. Perfect for what you are looking for.

POST 4Original post

Unfortunately, the X73 suspension for the 996 is no longer made and sold new, so they aren't easy to get.

POST 5Original post

Just purchased a BC Racing Coilover kit, will hopefully have it installed soon and will definitely share my experience.

POST 6Original post

I ran BC on my 996C2, they transformed the car. I highly recommend them.

POST 7Original post

Do you have a budget? What is the reason for swapping to coilovers? Tracking car? Or just want adjustability? Ohlins would be my choice since they are now available for our 996s. I have H&R coilovers which are not adjustable aside from ride height. Coupled with tarret camber plates they perform quite well.

POST 8Original post

In that case, contact Gert and see if you can still purchase 996 ROW sport springs and ask if there is a corresponding Bilstein shock that goes with it. Tell him that you are looking for a setup similar to a X73/X74. The only thing left are the sways and you can upgrade to GT3 sways. Many ways to think outside of the box just for a street car that will handle great!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11701429

No real budget They all seem to be in the $3-4k CDN range Thinking of swapping for handling mainly This is a DD, 95% street time Car has 93k km so suspension a little tired

POST 10Original post

If you are patient you may find a used set on here. I originally had Techart coilovers but had to replace them due to worn shocks. I managed to find an almost new set of H&R coilovers (mostly by luck) for $1K and a good local indy to install. Something like $1500 all-in. Actually that just reminded me that I still have my Techarts in the garage. I should really send them off for a rebuild.

POST 11Original post

Quotes source post: 11702083

In that case you cant go wrong with the KW3s, PSS10s or Ohlins. All are adjustable so if you decide to firm them up for track days you can. Find a good indy to install, align and corner balance the car. Its a bit pricey but worth it. Shock mounts will probably be shot as well so while your in there...

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My thoughts exactly, go with coilovers so I can get proper geometry setup I find you can really notice it on these cars I'm assuming ill do sway bars, end links and top mounts at the same time don't the KWs come with upper mounts? Anyone know spring rates on the KWs, Ohlins and PSS10s?

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ended up getting a good deal on slightly used ohlins Looking forward to nicer weather so I can get them mounted

POST 14Original post

Pete, Did you get the Ohlins Road & Track kit or a completely custom Ohlins setup for your C4S?

POST 18Original post

Motons and Ohlins, JRZ (fox) are magic shocks. they will ride like butter over the bumps and corner harder than you could ever imagine. Bilstien is a good upgrade but I don't think street shocks need all the rebound and compression adjusters. Bilstien sport is the same construction minus the ***** to fiddle with. There is Koni and you can never really go wrong for a low buck good performing shock. I have AST (pre-MOTON) on my M3 and they are fantastic. never messed with ***** 2 clicks off full soft and forget it.
