I replaced mine with Damptornics and the 'soft' mode ride actually became better. The car was also lowered 30mm, and I actually prefere the lower to the ground, go-kart like ride. very nice.
I think, when you get these coil-overs, ou need to get the car properly track-aligned and also corner balanced to best results. That is my early impression.

What is max height on B16
I just recently acquired a 997.2 C4S. The car is equipped with a set of B16 coilovers. My question is how much lift can I get from them for winter use? I can’t find it in the literature and any help is appreciated.

Not sure the geometry points are any different so the .2 should map to the .1
I have KW V3 and the comment about spring rate is the right one (you cant just dial out the damper settings and go from 'track' to 'comfort'). I did a bit of homework about spring rates and have this table (some just from internet quotes) Not sure where the 600 lb front spring rate comes from above that would be very, very stiff unless progressive
My .2 with KW is still at the rear and very spots oriented, I am slightly under the recommended damper settings at the rear and slightly over at the front, figures are in lb/inch the third column is wheel rate and not spring rate
