Default Bilstein EVO SE plug-n-play Coilovers for 992

An OEM+ solution for folks who want their cars 30mm lower...

From the video description...
Exclusive world premiere: Innovative coilover suspension technology available for the Porsche 992 for the first time.

BILSTEIN EVO SE coilover suspension for the Porsche 992

Attempting to improve the driving dynamics of an already perfect sports car such as the Porsche 911 is, as experience shows, not without risk. The danger of failing at this icon is great. Nevertheless, we succeeded. With probably the most advanced shock absorber technology available in the aftermarket.

With the new BILSTEIN EVO SE for the Porsche 992, we have developed a coilover suspension that further enhances the sporty appearance and driving dynamics of the 911. The brand-new, high-performance suspension uses the original BILSTEIN DampTronic X technology, which is already installed in the 911 production model: the BILSTEIN EVO SE coilover kit is fully compatible with the newest Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and can therefore be easily fitted using the plug-and-play method. The latest valve technology developed together with Porsche is now available in the aftermarket as a world premiere exclusively from us.

30 mm lowering - with threads to spare and a technical component report - lowers the center of gravity and gives the 911 an even sportier look. The coilover suspension impresses with higher cornering speeds and gives experienced sports drivers even more control.

The BILSTEIN DampTronic X technology in particular has a major influence on the increased driving dynamics: the DampTronic X shock absorbers are equipped with very fast-switching adjustment valves, which enable damping forces to adjust to the calculated damping requirement within milliseconds. This technology calculates and adjusts the damping several hundred times per second, depending on the driving situation and wheel-selectively.

First, Doylestown PA? I love Honey. Have they been able to survive COVID? I have a large customer based in Horsham and always stay in Doylestown. Rad little town.

Second, I'd be very curious as to the price point of these things. I love the idea. Plug and play and likely super quick install. No de-pinning or any of that nonsense with man-killer coil spring presses.

Thanks. Yes, Doylestown is awesome.
Honey is hanging in there. Outdoor dining has been a huge help to these businesses, but with dropping temps, our restaurant scene is going to take a hit. We've lost several already including Hickory Kitchen and Zen Den.

Has anyone located these for sale yet in the US? I was told that they would be here in early December, but haven’t been able to find them yet.

Would anyone know if you could lower less than 30mm?....I want to lower our targa when it comes...I just find 30 might be a little much. As a bench mark if anybody knew how much a GT3 is lowered from 991 without the sport suspension..I could at least work from that. Sport suspension isn’t offered in the new Targa and I would like to lower it to be about GT3 height...maybe a hair higher than that. We have FAL so we have flexibility.

With the full coil over you can adjust the ride height to your desired specs. Also true with height adjustable springs that are available from a couple of manufacturers. Not sure if these options work with FAL however.

I can confirm that its lowering range is between 0-70 mm as it a HAS coilover.

The current model does not support FAL, I’d have them in a heart beat if they did.
