With coilovers you will have much more adjustability, but PASM will just give you the easy option of switching at the click of a button inside. You could also get the switchable option with high end aftermarket coilers, but you are talking much more money. Steve Johnson 997 Register Secretary Quote Reply #2

Softens up for road and improves on track. It basically re programmes the PASM to use all the range. I found this DSC box with -20mm lowering springs fine for track use if its one or two track days a year. You can buy Tractive Touring or Bilstein B16 coilovers if you really want but I've not had a chance to try mine yet as only just installed and car still in build at the mo. I went for Tractive in your shoes via 9e too and had no need to buy the DSC box as already had one (only paid £400 used mind). https://www.nineexcellence.com/porsche-tpc-racing-dscv1.html - these often come up for sale used on 911uk.com too. https://www.nineexcellence.com/porsche-upgrades/porsche-suspension/porsche-dampers.html Quote Reply #4

I have a 997.2 C2S with factory suspension and PASM and need 2 new dampers fairly soon. I really only do road driving and have found the standard setup in PASM off/normal as stiff on our rubbish UK roads as I would want (especially at the rear where the larger tyres + engine I find thump pretty hard into expansion joints in the road etc). I wonder if any suspension upgrade for a 997 improves ride/range of capability vs just make it 'sportier'/suited for track work. Quote Reply #6

Just replace the shocks with OEM or you can send back to Bilstein and have the bad ones rebuilt. Give Bilstein Uk a call they're very friendly. 9e sells those DSC box. Or just wait for a used one. I got mine for £400 used via 9e who had a customer selling one. Quote Reply #7
