I was explaining to Matt at the shop also though… Porsche tends to overcomplicate things ha ha. I deal with so many shops that work on other models and they always tell us the same. I think he’s got it covered.

Yeah the dealership was utterly confused why I would change anything on that car, they weren't even familiar with the term "Coilover"...they were like what is this your putting on this car...and why??

Did you not need to get the add on from Bilstein for PDCC compatibility?

"Note: Cars that are equipped with PDCC (Active Stabilizer Control) must also purchase the Sway Bar Adapter kit."

Also, if you don't mind answering, where did you get the kit from? I need to change mine and need to find time to take care of it.

Thanks.

I bought the kit locally from another Porsche enthusiast, he had it on his car for like 1k miles and sold the car, took it off. It is like new, but I needed to buy a PDCC add on, if you have a Turbo S you have PDCC. He sold it to me VERY reasonably, let's just say about a 1/3 of what it cost new.

Nice, that is a sweet deal. Yes, I have PDCC and will need the add on. Again, thanks for sharing all the details.

I may loose my **** on this soon. Made the big jump to purchase the B16's and the PDCC add-on. Multiple sites show B1 11-223900 as the required add-on, but that is incorrect. The right sway bar is B1 11-239680 which is for the Bilstein clubsport coilover and it limits the lowering capability.

Can someone who has the B16 coilovers on a car with PDCC advise on the right height, or better share a pic, please.

I got mine in and the ride height is absolutely perfect with the PDCC on the car. It ride amazing as well, I absolutely think it transformed the car. Also my car was porpoising a lot when driving it before the change, it turned out the front dampers were completely shot on the car at 50k miles. With the PDCC on and and two adjusting collars the ride height is perfect.

I am returning the entire kit. Ordered the stock OEM struts to stay with my lowered stance :/ (I am 3/4 inch lower than the lowest setting on B16+PDCC which sits at 27' up front). I never had issues with ride, was upgrading only because the strut was shot. Will be a few more days of downtime until I get the new parts.

FCP and Flat 6 had the lowest price, and FCP is now backordered, the set I have from Flat 6 (which I will ship back on Monday) is the last they had. If anyone is looking for one, FYI.
