Default Ur thoughts on steel susp. on 997.2 w/ 18in wheels

You like, not like, and how about with the 19 in wheel options (non-pasm also)?
Obviously on a regular 997.2 non-S.

Stick with 18"'s. The trade-off is a better ride for a marginal loss in grip. Unless you track frequently you win going with 18"'s.

What are you asking? Ur? Steel suspension? Read the Excellence article about 18 vs. 19. If I remember correctly, they said stick with 18 on non-S stock suspension, but stick with 19 if on PASM as it was designed around 19s.

Have 2600 miles on my 09 C2S with 2 days on the track with Volk 19s and PSCups - feels fine to me.

What steel in the suspension? These things are largely aluminum castings.

I highly recommend the 19s over the 18s.

I have the non-S 997.2 with 18s. Plan to keep 18s for the track and leave it stock for now.

Down the road, drop links and lower control arms maybe.
