Default Suspension Recommendations for Spirited Street Driving and a Once a Month AutoX

Hello folks. Looking for recommendations for a basic suspension upgrade for more aggressive street driving and the once a month AutoX. I'm thinking Eibach springs because they lower the car the least for a subtle change. If I'm not mistaken, front caster changes and can't be aligned back with stock components, so i was thinking adjustable thrust arm bushings. And a DSC. Your help is appreciated.

We usually use TechArt or H&R Springs for our install at the shop but I am sure the Eibachs will be good as well. The DSC controller is such an easy and cost effective modification to make to your car. It's a simple plug in module and if you want to plug into it with your lap top it is fairly easy to adjust the shocks in a seemingly infinite amount of ways. It is also something that can easily be pulled out when you sell your car to be resold or installed into a new car. Just save your stock module to go back in the car.

I highly recommend the DSC module, most people never change it from the default programming that it comes with and they are very happy with it.

If you happen to be on the West coast and want one quickly we always try to have them in stock. We are located run Los Angeles.

You need lots of extra camber in the front axle, so:

- Tarret or Elephant camber plates
- KW or Elephant coil-overs with adjustable corner heights
- Tune (GIAC/Cobb)
- 255/305 RE71R Bridgestone on 19" 9"/12" wheels
- A good exhaust system to make it fun
- I had experience with DSC in my Z06, like it a lot. Go for it in a 991.

Lot's of trouble to get 19" wheels to fit. Go with HRE R101 9"/12" x 20" and stick with Cup2 265/325. They will fit fine with lower springs, and impressive additional grip. DSC is amazing, too.

Drop it with GMG progressive lowering springs. Had it on my 2018 Turbo. Great street ride and much improved AutoX performance. Very flat!
