Suspension Delimma: Lowered but Soft
The shocks on my wife's 993 Cab are shot and I want to lower the car, however my wife HATES the ride of my 993 Coupe with PSS-9's ... which I was going to swap onto the Cab when my JIC/Cross kit goes on the Coupe.
So basically I want to retain the softer 'stock' ride but get the car lowered.
Most of the previous suspension conversations center around enhanced handling and the ride has been secondary. In this case the 'ride' is the most important consideration.
Thoughts?

If your dampers are shot you will get an improvement in ride by replacing these. As per the previous poster i would go for ROW M033 springs with suitable dampers. Thi swill give you ROW M030 ride height with softer springs.

I've been secretly suffering with an overly-stiff PSS9-993 for the past 9 months. That is, until I read this thread. Last night, I adjusted them from the initial setting of 4f/3r (since I had them installed, I haven't touched them), to full soft 9f/9r. It made a huge difference. The car not only is more comfortable than the stock setup over ANY bump, but it still handles better than the factory ROW M030. For street use, I am now convinced PSS9s are the best option. Adjustability is great!

Come on guys, you're missing the obvious: Eibach. They seem to design their springs to have similar spring rates as OEM, but they lower the car over an inch.
Simply reducing the shock setting on PSS9's isn't going to make them a comfy ride. It'll help a bit, but let's be honest: PSS9 spring rates are way stiffer than stock springs, so this is not going to give you the most comfortable ride out there.

And honestly, it feels more compliant than any factory setup I've yet driven.
