Carrera S Sports Suspension

[Guest]

Has anyone oredered this?

Is it track or road optimised - or a reasonable compromise? (I have the 30mm lowered on my 996 which i like, but my wife finds uncomfortable.)

Have there been any tests with this set up rather than the standard?

I have to say you are a braver man than I, 30mm lowered suspension eh, that is one VERY firm set up for the road, although fantastic on track. I agree the standard 996 set up is a little "floaty" & rolls & understeers too much in extreme, but the 10mm lowered set up does it for me, virtually zero roll & pitch & much more contact between tyre & road on a bumpy B road than the 30mm set up, also the ride quality isn't that much worse than standard.
I think the PASM set up sounds great on the 997 a 10mm drop & the ability to firm things further when the mood takes you.

I take it you mean the "Active" suspension?
Or are they offering sports suspension without active?

Yup daro is right, the 997S comes with PASM (which includes a 10mm drop) as standard, but you can have the 20mm lowered "sports"suspension with the trick rear diff. as a no cost option, but this doesn't feature PASM !!!
