knight,thanks..nice to meet someone has been in bangkok here! did you drive porsche in bkk?
and yes ,i will do wheel alignment first by porsche specialist,and recheck my suspension.
driving in bkk is like driving on the moon,not smooth at all!!
knight, do you please recommend the suitable suspension for this kind of road?
Never drove a porsche in BKK and we both know the traffic is just wow!

I've only used coilovers - Bilstein PSS10s, so sorry can't comment on any other setups like H&R, Euro M030 or M033.

PSS10s would be suitable for your roads there, just costs a bit more vs alternatives. It has dampening/rebound adj ***** to adj for your preference Lots of info here, just search suspension setup for different opinions.

I would wait until after your alignment before even looking into spending more $ on suspension.

Stock suspension means original suspension from Porsche and not another part brand. Did you make modifications to your 911? If you did, were the parts replaced by Porsche parts or some other brand?

Do you have the C2 or C4? You'd experience more light-front-end if you have the C2 (two-wheel drive) than the C4. The front-end lightness is an inherent draw-back in the cantilevered rear-wheel rear-engine setup and Porsche meticulously tuned the suspension (car setup) to achieve the feat over the inherent weaknesses.

Hi guys, just revived this thread because I'm feeling the same thing with my car, a 97 car with 85.000km, stock suspension it seems, I changed the wheels to 17" turbo alloys when I bought it so I'm not sure if it's from the larger wheels...

What's the factory alignment for 16" and 17" for these cars?

Any guys experiencing the same with 17" wheels?

Thanks

It's the suspension, i.e shocks.
