997.1 Coilover question
Hello,
I am planning to install a set of coilovers on 2008 Carrera. Car does not have PASM. So far I found the following 3 products from Tire Rack:
H&R Street-Perf. Coil-Over $2,290.00
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...lar=Coupe&cat=
Bilstein PSS9 Coil-Over Kit $2,664.00
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...+Coil-Over+Kit
KW Variant 3 Coil-Over $3,200.00
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...nt+3+Coil-Over
Even though Tire Rack have these products, they do not have the spring rates information neither the actual pictures of the products. Anyone know specific of these products and any experience with each one of these?
I don't race this car but I like very firm, solid ride and like to lower it about an inch.
Any additional information and experience for the above coilover sets would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

out of this line up the kw would be the superior choice.. pss9's were not sprung or valved well.
kind of a bummer you do not have pasm.. i really like the firmer ride at a click of a button on canyon roads!

Just make sure you can adjust the height and the spring seperately. You can corner balance and have proper clearance. Those KW's are pretty sick. If I ever get the finish coat of blacktop on my road I'll probably go with the B16 Bilsteins because I want to maintain my PASM and don't track my car. I get new wheels this Friday and want my car to look amazing which includes another 1/2" drop over factory.
