Default Coilovers set

Is there a coilovers set that eliminates the whole air suspension on the 2012 turbo S?

I'm slowly thinking about going down that route instead of trying to problem solved my chassis failure issues.

FCP Euro and Suncoast Porsche have a number of quality, named-brand replacement sets out there. IIRC, you can also find kits that will eliminate any suspension error codes, etc. Good luck!

Cool thanks, have you done it or can you recommend a brand?

I considered it, but finally opted against it because I wanted to keep the car just as the engineers had designed it. As far as brands are concerned, my personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with Bilsteins.

Default grateful

I have a 2012 P4 and a 2016 Cayenne S, both bought used. Both have coils, not air. So, of course, I can't compare, but I like the ride and the handling on both vehicles. And every time I read about air suspensions, I am so grateful to some prior owner.
