This isn’t compatible with FAL. I can also put up the product number here.

I am happy that your deciding to drop your car, that much power will go nicely with a set of coilovers. 😃

I'm very interested, but like you I'm also considering the TracTive RT setup from DSC. Could I ask what prompted your decision to switch?

I have a '13 C2S and I'm still on factory dampers/springs with the DSC controller. Very happy with the improvement with the controller but my car is 90% track use and I just don't think the stock equipment is up to the task. I'd like to continue to leverage the factory suspension technology PASM and PDCC so it looks like the B16 Damptronic and TracTive RT setups are best for that shy of going to JRZ or KW coilovers which obviously negate the electronic adjustment tech.

Thanks!
Jim

The Bilstein B16 is a huge improvement from the base suspension. The handling and the ride quality is much much improved. It was harsh in the beginning but adding a DSC controller took care of that quick! Like everyone says it truly is magic. I’m going to be getting my front and rear suspension done using Emotion engineering so I thought I should upgrade to tractive coilovers since their the best. Plus I want to run stiffer spring rates.

if your car is 90% track, do it right the first time and get the tractive coilovers and have the ultimate setup. I’ve only tracked one time before in my R8 and never a 911, so I’m now starting off and I’m thinking I’m going to be doing a lot more track events moving forward.

Thanks for the insights, especially since you're selling your B16s. I've spent about 8 days at Sebring this year and I definitely need stiffer springs. Was debating about changing springs vs B16 vs TracTive. I'm pretty clear which direction I'm heading now. Thanks!
