Hey guys, I’ve looked around and can’t find any specific information on suspension options for a 2022 Turbo S. I currently have Techart Adjustable Springs and absolutely hate the ride. The best way to describe it is extremely choppy… My Ferrari F8 has a very stiff ride, but it’s not noisy, bouncy and choppy. I’m ready to install any other set of springs that do a better job. Any suggestions???

Don't all Porsche's have a choppy ride? The 992's are WAY better but still have some choppiness compared to all my other cars. I have Techart sport springs, I thought I had the Techart adjustable spring set, the biggest difference between the two is the Techart sport springs use the stock Porsche bushings rather than the new supplied by Techart bushings, which some have said makes noises. My car rides really no different than stock, as soon as DSC comes out with the controller for the suspension it will ride like a caddy, well not really. Here is my car lowered for over 2 years now

I would have the installation re-checked. I have the non-adjustable Techart springs and its not much different than stock. No creaks

i have no experience with aftermarket suspension on my tts. but in shopping around i'm looking for something that would maintain electronic damping adjustability. saw the post from @FLT6SPD that he's running bilstein's which maintain oem functionality. so if/when i'm ready i plan to try these. good luck.

​​​​​​Bilstein Evo SE coilovers (the correct 49-320657 for Turbo S/Cab, not 49-300581 that some vendors sell for the Turbo and will fit but are valved for the C/S/GTS)

@sensei_tts The Bilstien Evo 49-320657 have been great, OEM feel, no bounciness, no noise, perfect drop!! Corner balanced as well. Definitely would buy again.

I did H&R's and love it. There's a couple threads with pics of my car. Nice ride, no noise(possible they didn't torque bolts correctly) and no chop. If you're ever in Vegas we can take it for a spin and you can see what's up.

Bilstein coilovers are very popular with us.

We also have Ohlins.

Coils are ride better than springs in my opinion.

Your car is stunning!

sensei_tts

nice, do the ohlins maintain pasm like the bilsteins?

Meraki Autoworks

They do not.

Thank guys. Not sure how to proceed, but I appreciate the feedback. Here’s a picture of my car.

based on what you described, the feedback from others and options....if it were me and i was looking for something else to try it would be Bilstien Evo 49-32065. Bilstein makes the oem shocks, they are ride height adjustable and keep the factory pasm functionality. the ride dynamically changes depending on drive mode selected. i personally like the pasm adjustablilty for when my kids ride with me. they're prone to motion sickness so normal mode until we get to the backroads, then sport +, then back to normal once done with the run.

What are spring rates for the Bilsteins compared to OEM? Just figured they aren't too different from OEM and why bother.
How adjustable are Ohlins on the fly for rebound damping adjustment say at the track? The fronts should be easily adjusted but rear should be a major pain.

OP have you driven another 992 turbo with lowering springs or had another owner drive yours? I still think there may have been an installation error

Yeah, my son and I are in the business. www.bumper2bumper.com . We've double checked the installation and worked with Techart to ensure thing are set up properly. Other guys on this forum have experienced similar issues. The clunking could be from the front being set to low. Issue is that even set at the lowest setting, the front still sits a little high. It could use another 1/2 drop. The bigger frustration for me is the choppy ride. I find it very annoying. My F8 dropped on Novitec adjustable springs rides far better.
