well, he`s a customer of my mechanic with his cars. I don`t know what suspension is in his 964RS, but my mechanic loves - and always recommends - bilstein stuff and dislikes kw.
For pure street driving bilstein pss-stuff should be quite perfect. For some more or harder usage, the street coils are far to soft with its spring-rates. Even if you "close" the clicks on the damper, the spring is still so soft and you drive on the oil-cushion...
I`ll also remove the h&r sways and switch back to the 90-C2 setup and not to the orig. C4 setup with 18mm in the rear. I`ll also use rubber top-mounts an no monoballs...

I doubt I'll ever want stiffer springs as my C2 is driven on the road & has been significantly "de-contented" to almost RSL weight
Should I ever feel the need for stiffer springs, I'll do what our Rennlist friend Provoste did and have Bilstein uprate them.

I have stock PSS10 with Rennline top mounts front & rear, OEM RS anti-roll (sway) bars and Elephant Racing RS spec bushes f+r, Wevo's, Rothsport custom reinforced rear carrier etc. Love it.

In germany, the pss-stuff costs roughly 2,5k€ w/o top-mounts.
cup-/rs dampers round about 1,2k€, new RS-springs 450,-€
So i`m 1k€ in front of the pss-solution. I was thinking about kw-clubsport coils and got a recommendation from a ring-running (VLN) motorsport company, but that coils were round about 3k€ (with top mounts) and are nearly the same spring-rate/spring-rate ratio combination as the rs-springs are....

If memory serves me correct, I think I remember the PSS10 booklet indicating the stock rates were around. 250lb front 450lb rear.... Though I'm not 100% sure.
PS- Geordie- Your and my suspension specs sound almost identical aside from the spring rates- bushings, solid upper mounts, bars, reinforced carrier, etc!
