For your reference, here's mine with the aftermarket rims. I can live with it.



I would be very pleased with this ride height. Your car looks great!

Hello...I sent you a message about your CL wheel/tire set up because it's perfect and it doesn't mess with the suspension. I'm not sure I sent the message correctly since I am new to this blog....When you get a chance can you let me know if it was sent correctly?...Thanks..GP

Hi, no I didn't get a message from you.

​​​​​Specs on my wheels and tires are:
Front 20 x 9.5 ET 47 Tires 265/35
Rear 20 x 12 ET 48 Tires 325/30

Its amazing what just pushing those tires out to the edges of the wheel well does.



It's not perfect, but it beats messing with the suspension.

It will be tucked in but so is stock. techart and DSC sport module very good combo - mine is very compliant. The height is perfect and I track the car and have no qualms with the setup.

Ducktail was a OEM option for the 991.1s (SportDesign package). For 991.2s you will need to go after market. I suggest reading threads about it on the forum, I don't know what the current best option is.

Your car looks great. I’m also considering HRE wheels. I assume those are P101? What is the offset and width of your setup? And are you running 305’s or a larger tire in the rear? I’ve had a hard time determining the best setup.

Has anyone gone from a KW height adjustable suspension (or similar Ohlins coilovers) to a tractive suspension from TPC? (Or have driven similar cars with them)

It's a noticeable price bump from ~$4k -> $8.5k, but automatically on-demand adjustable suspension sounds very interesting.

Surely track performance sees an improvement, but is there a noticeable difference on the street?

I went from DSC + B16 Damptronics to Tractives. Night and Day. totally worth it if you have the budget.

Can you elaborate some more on switching out of the B16s?

I have that setup and since I did my recalibration and corner balancing- it sits and rides great!

The b16’s are a solid choice but I had a chance to snag tractives at a great price. They are just way more responsive than the b16’s. They are more compliant yet firm than the b16’s. I feel way more planted and that the suspension adjust damping in a wider Range.
