Once the car takes a set, the grip from the tires is there, but it doesn't feel like the car is being held down well.

Thoughts from the group, especially from anyone who's used both?
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.

Hi Y'all,
I've gone through a bit of hell over a couple of years to get my 996.2 Cab to feel right.
Suspension has been fully refreshed with OEM equivalent parts. Have thicker sway bars from and rear, and new Michellin 4S tires
Also added ROW M030 springs (don't want to sit lower)
I went with Koni FSD's so I wouldn't feel "beat up" on rough LA streets. However, I feel like the rebound control just sucks.
Feels like in a sweeping higher speed corner (not on a track), or on left/right switches, I'm bounding too much, and even little course corrections send me jiggling.
Once the car takes a set, the grip from the tires is there, but it doesn't feel like the car is being held down well. Like the tires are working too hard.
Would a switch to B6's make a meaningful difference? I'm 20k into the car more than it's worth at this point.... feels like most things are more new than old
But I don't want to feel unsafe or like the car is not "on rails" after everything I've put in.
Thoughts from the group, especially from anyone who's used both?
Or even Koni Sports?
Seems my stock TT without the Sport button pushed is hitting these bumps pretty hard around here these days. Yes, the tires have over 11k on them, and the car just hit 11k. Could that be why my suspension feels so harsh, or am I just getting to be an old man?
HAHAHA I don't think your an old man ! However, I will say that the roads in NY are a horror show. NYC is the worst (Manhattan can at times be a biblical level clusterf...). That being said, I think putting the 997TT into sport mode simply exacerbates the sensation of a bumpy road. There is no answer except maybe to drive elsewhere. As you are currently operating in non-sport mode, your suspension is very soft and you should feel less bumps. I also don't believe that your tires with 11K miles on them are a materially significant factor in the sensation you are feeling. Like I said our roads are a disaster.
