B8 think x73 ala 996tt, that's what it was designed to be for Porsche in the 997 platform, never happened unfortunately. B8 or B16 coupled with the tpc dsc controller will outperform just about any coil over setup without pasm street or track.

Boxes arrived this morning. I just got excited. When I placed the order it said to expect around 8/20.

If anyone in the Bay Area has the tpc module and b16 ping me

I want to go for a ride and you can check out my ohlins

As an FYI I did pose the question or TPC or pairing their module to the B16 clearly vast improvement over stock although the ohlins road and track obliterate the Bilstein on extended sessions of driving hard

The Bilstein will over heat and begin to fatigue

The ohlins can handle the strain

I can report back once i drive the rival setup!
