But that isn't to say that H&R and Bilstein wouldn't be a good choice either - both have been extensively used on the 996 with great success by countless others.

I know the Super Manthey Bros (whilst rescuing Daisy) will recommend the moustachioed marvel but I don't have a crazy amount of 10p's to put in the slot.

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.

Ok guys,
I have a 996 Carrera 4S and I'm going to blow some money on a new suspension, I've been looking at a proper Porsche X73, Bilstein PSS9 or H&R with GT3 swaybars. Has anyone got any other views? I know the Super Manthey Bros (whilst rescuing Daisy) will recommend the moustachioed marvel but I don't have a crazy amount of 10p's to put in the slot.
I'm looking at blowing about £2k on it, but recommendations, advice and preferably someone who's done it.

Will that lower the ride height Damian ?
Not got a clue which is best - but if you can get some aesthetic improvement that'd be nice too !

adjustable H&R's get my vote, may not be KW quality but good enough and you can get the entire anti-roll bar package and bits for the roughly same price
have you checked you the carnewal catologue ?

If you aren't spinning, you ain't trying hard enough!
Thing with suspension is what you intend to use the car for. H&R, Bilstein PSS9s, JRZs, KWs are all superb bits of kit - but the difference is who sets it up and how well matched are the settings for the kinds of roads/tracks you'll be using the car on.
Any of them can be equally bad if setup incorrectly. Some are more biased towards smooth billiard board roads/tracks than others.
I went with the Manthey KWs (+uniball mounts) because:
[u:t6gKfmowPO]* they are fully 3 way adjustable and can be adjusted on the fly
* they are revalved and tuned specifically for bumpy fast road driving - be that at the Ring or around England
* KW quality is superb and TUV approved
* Olaf Manthey knows a thing or two about performance tuning for Porsche 911s
* they were recommended above others by several people who had more experience driving different setups on the GT3
* they were recommended and can be fettled by my local garage (JZM)
* Manthey KWs are highly respected and they will not detract value from my car
* most importantly, they work as intended
But that isn't to say that H&R and Bilstein wouldn't be a good choice either - both have been extensively used on the 996 with great success by countless others.
Imho, saving a few ££ on something as critical as suspension is not worth it. We always talk about the handling of our cars, and suspension is absolutely critical in the equation.
