Default 991 Turbo springs too soft?

hello from Paris and sorry for my English

i have a 2017 Turbo (not S)since 6 months love it, but I think spring is too smooth ,very confortable but in rear is too soft

do you know if spring are exactly the same in turbo and turbo S?

I haven't PDCC and I have read with PDCC spring are more soft than without PDCC?(without PDCC spring make a compromise)

I have a boxster spider too, and I look for a spring for my turbo less hard than Spyder but more hard than OEM turbo? do you think tech art springs do this?

i have the OEM lift in my car ,i think lowering 20 mm is idea for mel, and I am affraid with more lowering

thanks

this is mine

Bonjour! The spring rates are the same, but you are correct that the TTS with PDDC or TT if so optioned would account for the difference. You have many, many after-market options for a stiffer spring set-up, but I would encourage you to keep driving your TT - the "softness" you're feeling can be exploited/managed with steering and throttle input .

I had the same feeling, and went with some H&R's...problem solved.

Texas roads don't let me know my TTS is too soft, for sure.

Nice ride!

thanks every body

my feelings is the rear axle is "floating" in PASM sport is less "floating".......but not perfect

with the lowering do you have contact with the road on hard driving? or the more 'hard spring" compensate the lower clearance ?

at low speed I am not afraid with the front lift (if you don't forget to activate the fonction)
but on country road i'am afraid with the front inflatable spoiler

sorry for my english
