My complaint was that the damping of small road imperfections was quite poor. The test driver for my authorised Porsche Dealer here said that many owners had installed the Pss9 shocks/springs and it had the dual effect of being a bit stiffer but also smoother in damping out unwanted vibration. This seemed like a contradiction to me but this guy is extremely experienced and has given me great advice in the past. He has nothing to gain as this is not a product the dealer sells so I cant see any motivation to mislead me.
One more thing I should add is that thailand roads are in fact generally superb. I live in the south of the country and can honestly say we have some of the finest performance driving roads I have experienced anywhere in the world. Add that to the fact that the local authorities are very flexible in regards to your rate of travel and you have a very nice combination.

Make sure to send me a message if you come to Phuket. Thats where I live. I can point you in the direction of some of the most beautiful roads you will see anywhere. Freshly surfaced, no traffic and magnificent scenery.
You are right about the police. Really your speed is just limited by what is safe. Nothing like the thrill of coming around a high speed bend and finding a water bufffalo in the middle of the road.

If you are visiting South Thailand I would strongly suggest these two roads for a scenic drive. Both very nice condition and amazing scenery.
Also on Route 401 is Khao Sok National Park which has some of the oldest and best preserved rain forest in Asia. Absolutely Magnificent
I have attached Google Earth placemarks to guide you.
