The Quest for the perfect 997 Turbo suspension

What is the perfect suspension? That is the age old question, how do you create something that will fit everyone’s tastes?. The 997 Turbo was designed essentially as a “GT” touring machine with a somewhat cushy ride adjustable with a push of a button intended to firm up things a bit. When I first drove my Turbo after taking delivery, I set out to analyze the way the car felt under varying road conditions. From that I determined that the stock setup was a bit too soft for my tastes especially with the rear “jiggle” around undulating sweepers. I knew I needed to find a way to tighten things up as well as improve the overall steering feel. I had no way of knowing that this was the beginning of a man’s 3 year journey in finding perfection.
