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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hi The standard suspension for me on uk roads is very good. Im used to caterham 7 bone shaking and M5 softness and the 2002 996 standard feels perfect an excellent mix between the two. Had a go in a 2002 996 with 10mm lower and sports exhaust. Ride was a bit too firm for me and the exhaust was too noisy. headache time. Just had my 996 Targa for 2 weeks and its perfect. Just want to run it in and use all the revs. Stadard suspension but with 18 wheels. Have fun

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

...and have cancelled both the RUF wheels and ROOCK suspension! I've only had the car a few weeks, so I think I'll first see just how well the stock setup serves me. Seems a shame to discard hundreds of millions of pounds of Porsche investment in R&D and just 'do my own thing' on the car that they created to be one of the best driver's cars on the planet. Yes, 18" wheels may look a bit cooler (I may still go that way in the future), but I actually like the look of the 17" Carrera wheels! The ride on the non-sports suspension is fairly firm anyway, so I might regret a sports suspension, especially on UK roads. It may also upset the finely tunes balance of handling/ride/steering that Porsche must have spent a LONG time getting right. If I do change my mind in the future, anyone know how various mods affect the Porsche Dealer warranty?
