tires make a difference. Changes handling too. My stock potenza were hard but car was tigh. Was a softer ride on 20" pirelli pzero but more bouncy.

 

The suspension on the base model is stiffer than PASM on normal and softer than PASM in sport. My advice is don't buy a 997 without PASM.

 

I should have mentioned I'm running Bridgestone RE050A tires, 235 front 295 rears.
Ordered pss9 a couple of days ago. I've had very good results when I've installed them on my 993 and 996c4s and transformed the cars dramatically.
Looking forward to see what they do on the 997.2.
Thanks again for various comments.
Highly unlikely I will sell them because I don't like them.
