my new c2 - suspension question
hello! i am about to become a member of the club - in the process of pulling the trigger on a '99 c2.
i intend to use it as a daily driver, having recently moved to a new job that requires an early morning, 30 km commute on a SERIOUSLY twisty, relatively rough and patchy, country road.
the car has stock suspension. what is the best compromise in suspension that will track well through corners at speed with minimal body roll, while not chattering me off the road with stiffness? i would rather not lower the car, as there are lots of steep driveways, etc., in my neck of the woods.
i've searched the forums, but most suspension-related posts are for autocross/track situations and lowered cars; i'm looking for a real-world solution to a fast car trying to coexist with an underfunded department of transportation that can neither fix roads (boo) nor straighten them (yay).
thanks for any help! trk.

Porsche has a US M030 and a ROW M030. The ROW lowers your car a little, the US (which I have) does not lower your Porsche. Compared to stock both are an improvement regarding handling etc. If I were to do it again, I would opt for the ROW. Welcome to the forum, no doubt lots of others will chime in with their thoughts.GL.
