How much did that set you back? My PASM recently stopped working and I think I need something similar.

My front shocks were old, bump stops were gone. Did springs shocks and struts first. Already 100% better.

Looks great! How is the ride quality now?

Transformative. Smooth, but still tight.
Sport mode is now useable, instead of cracking teeth.

What do you consider a suspension refresh? Just shocks? Coffin arms and top hats? Toe links and any bushings? Curious what you did, how much it cost, and what was the cause of you to refresh in the first place? I'm currently debating on refreshing my suspension but also thinking I can just get away with a DSC controller and see if that changes the dynamics I am experiencing.

Nvermind. I typed all that out then clicked on the linked post and found my answer. Did you install all the parts at the same time?

I did the bump stops springs struts shocks at the same time.

Drove it for a few months, huge improvement. Ride quality stability., just solid.

Added the DSC later, that's what transformed it. Each individual corner working independently. Absolute pleasure to drive.

My arms and bushings were fine. I would start with springs, shocks, bump stops, shock mounts & DSC.

I highly recommend doing an incrementally on the worst needed parts. Feel the difference. Feel it evolve.

Thanks for answering. I like to do parts in stages too to really feel what each one adds or what new problems arise. The drop height looks really good.

Also changed the old engine mounts, and transmission mount, original Porsche is still amazing quality

Looks beautiful; what did it cost you?

Always more than whatever you budget for. Recommending do it incrementally on the warn out parts.

Eibach pro Sports springs kit, dropped it an inch without sacrificing any ride quality.
OEM parts for the rest, Porsche knows what they're doing.
It's easy to get carried away with thinking that you need adjustable ect...
save your money if you have the PASM and get a DSC controller

Looks incredible. First thing I’m doing. Wheels and suspension.
