Default 981 Sport Suspension Option

Has anyone ordered this option over PASM? Opinions?

I'm considering this option in combination with PTV (torque vectoring).

Any pics available?

Much more info on this on P-9. People seem to report that the sport suspension feels similar to Spyder/R suspension. The biased group of people (i.e. they were looking for the stiffer suspension) seem very happy with them! YMMV as to whether they feel "harsh" on the street.

EDIT: ah crap, I just realized that there is another thread about the same topic... mods, any way we can merge these?

I was debating on the Sports Suspension option for our order, but after reading the magazine reviews (in particular the EVO review) and the other forum posts about ride feel I decided against it. We ordered PASM instead. Our car will be strictly street use only, and used on both short and long drives. The roads here (Pacific NW) are lousy around town and we felt the Sports Suspension option would be too harsh.

Thx. sfo. As the Brits would say, "just luvely"

That's the look I'm after. Also like the painted lower half of mirrors & side intakes
