Opinions on Suspension - Ohlins, PSS10 or Bilstein Shocks
#211
After looking through everything I have come to a new question: What is the best suspension setup for daily driving? I only intend on tracking the car once or twice a month so I'm not sure I would get much utility out of the Ohlins for the price.
I've read a little about b8s and H&R sport springs or also FEAL coil overs (wish there was more on that), but what would you 996TT daily drivers recommend? The highway road vibration here in Atlanta is atrocious on my stock US 21 year old suspension.

Any pictures of Ohlins R&T in its lowest setting? Having read multiple reviews, it's quite clear to me that Ohlins is good if not the best but I'd like to go relatively low and many reviews are stating that Ohlins is quite limited in terms of lowering from stock (ROW) height. Another option for me would be the KW V3 that I know will go low enough and it's also quite a bit cheaper than the Ohlins. Any input is appreciated!

Noticed PSS10 are on sale at Flat6. Was considering Ohlins R/T but this price is hard to ignore relative to the Ohlins. What does the hivemind think - should I still spring for the Ohlins or will I be happy with the Bils? Mostly backroads mobbing and some casual autocross from time to time. Currently stock everything.

I had PSS10s on a 993, they were OK.
Id buy Ohlins next time based on what I think is superior damping tuning.
How much more are the Ohlins? $500? &1000?
Thats not a lot of delta if you are paying someone to install / align / corner balance IMO
but
"Currently stock everything" is OK too,

Thanks for the input. The difference is about 1300, which is a set of new PS4S, so not insignificant, but I think you're right. Literally everyone is suggesting spending more on the Ohlins... maybe that's why the Bilstein are on sale!
The stock suspension has been fine but it's original and the shocks are starting to show their age. Figure I might as well upgrade instead of replace stock. Heard the R&T are an improvement over stock for pretty much every scenario, wondering if that's the consensus here for around town driving as well?

That's not really a sale price as that's the price at most other vendors. The more important question is whether or not it's in stock. I have these on my turbo and I love them so far. Looking to add another set to my 4s potentially

Just added the Bilsteins, set the car to Euro ride height, 1 click short of softest on front and 2 on the back. Clear all speed bumps, Feels much better than stock, not uncomfortable but way firmer. Not daily driver comfort, but a good balance. With a few other parts it was about $1.8k less than ohlins all in. Spent that money on other preventative items. I do not track the car.

Started with Bilstein PSS10 after stock suspension was scary soft at Daytona. Poor customer support after at least 8 years and lots of Sebring track time caused me to look at Ohlins and I can now tell you they are worth the extra money. Motons are King, but unless your pockets are deep and you race, the Ohlins are the sweet spot for most of us normal folks who want a street-able track weapon.
