Just had Darin and Chris at West End Alignment insstall new PSS10 on my 996 AE car. I really liked the M030 set up but the ride height was not appealing to me. I looked at going used but Carnewal had them on sale under 2k delivered.
I did have it corner balance with what Darin called a aggressive street alignment.
Moving from a stock 996 set up to PSS10 will be night and day.

For those interested in the Feal 441 coilover, I've got the first set that they sold through their webpage. Finally got them installed and aligned last week, and I drove nearly 700 miles on them this weekend, a combination of highways and twisty backroads.
They were exactly what I was looking for - Feal sets them up with preload/damping before shipping them, and I actually found it a bit too soft. Two more clicks in the front and one in the rear and it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The car feels like a proper sports car now, and was still a pleasure to drive all weekend. I think that once I get some stiffer sway bars and adjustable end links, I'll be done with suspension.
Fitment and quality on them is great for the price - I had no issues other than the rear top hat studs are threaded differently than the oem ones, so I had to run pick up a new set of nuts for them. The sway bar endlinks were a little clunky at first with the lowered ride height, but they have quieted down as everything settles. Going from stock targa height to X74 height/alignment was a significant change.
Overall I couldn't be happier, would absolutely recommend these, and a friend that drove the car this morning is ordering a set for his own car. If anyone is in the area, I'd be happy to show them off.

What is your ride height at fenders F and R?
What size tires?

C2 / C4 / Cabrio / Targa / Turbo all
take different applications
Despite all the 'will not fit' messages, my indy put PSS10's on my
C2 Anniversary car
there were no upcharges / comments about fitment
maybe start here

TireRack and Carnewal are also good sources

Ya and I know there are peeps around here that have put GT3 dampers on C2's.
