^^ This!

Even PSS9 are a significant compromise for street/track and I have no experience with lesser struts. A nice pair of Bilstein HDs and a set of lowering springs should work well for dual purpose and not rattle your fillings loose.

My 987.2 car has stock struts, lowering springs, GT3 A-arms and a pro setup. It is a nice dual purpose car and I like it a lot better than my 986 with PSS9s.

Tell me about this?
Do PSS9's suck for a dual purpose car? (Track / street)

Topless, do you have stiffer sway bars along with the PSS9's, or just the coilovers..?

I am curious, because on my 987CS I first installed a set of H&R sway bars with Tarett links 'before' installing the KW-V3's and now, on my 981CS I installed the KW-V3's (no sway bars yet) and I noticed a Big difference between the 987 and the 981.

On the 987 with a combination of the sway bars and coilovers the turn was much crispier (..?) and cannot wait to install the sway bars, but unfortunately H&R does not offer them yet for the 981 chassis, and the Tarett's are a bit pricey.
