Switching to a more trackable suspension. These are 7 months, perfect, $1300 new from 928INTL (their kit), $950 covers it inc. shipping.

FYI, the Bilstein/Eibach setup from 928INTL is essentially a new OEM "Sport" suspension, with a slight (sometimes not noticable) increase in spring rates. The shocks are OEM 928 "Sport".

This is controversial to me. I read before that it's "the choice of racers", and here we're learning it's pretty much like factory Sport suspension. But the question is, what would be the more trackable setup? Sorry don't mean to change the thread

Custom-height Koni's on full hard, cut Eibach springs (3-4 coils) to increase stiffness. I like stiff suspensions, and I dont' consider this stiff. It's very nice & tight, "sporty", but not "stiff".

Mark R. what kind of lap times are you turning ? Unless you have lots of track data doing ANY SUSPENSION tuning is a shot in the dark. Bigger is not always better and stiffer is not always FASTER. But if the point of the exercise is how it feels set it up the way it pleases you. The Eibachs by the way are 559 front 372 rear. The early stock front springs are as I recall about 400 ,rears 290.

Thanks Jim for that info, do you know what the Gt was? That would also be an interesting tidbit. The British coil over package looks to be the most serious of all, I wonder what the spring rates are for that? Also they look very light too.

Hi Jim,
I've been doing DE's, Autocrossing, etc. for well over 10 years: for *my* driving, I'd prefer to go stiffer.
My 911 turbo's suspension is barely modified, & feels perfect for my needs. My red 928SC was perfect as well, probalby about 50% stiffer than this current setup.
I'm not dissing the 928INTL setup at all! It's great, but for my driving style, I need to go stiffer.

Mark...........similar questions as Brian.........do we assume your sale is 4 complete coilover suspension packages? will they fit all model years? does the price include shipping to the far North?

Since I have the 928Intl setup, I figure I'll throw my (subjective) 2cents in.
It certainly firmed the ride up a bit, but I would not consider it extremely stiff. I think it is perfect for a firm, "street" setup. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to the track yet, so I can't comment on that aspect of it.
Overall I am very pleased with it and think it was a worthwhile improvement.
