MY97 986 overview

[djoa]

I owned a 951S before, the stock M030 Koni coilover never bump as my 986. Also, I tried my fd's 987S, the supension sticks to the raod very well. Just wondering about mine.
If runin 160k km, I think I should sell my car better =P

I installed front and mid strut braces and it really stiffened the body up allot. For the price it's something you will feel right away. The hesitation you feel in shifting in the tip, is it during easy driving in auto or when your shifting with the steering wheel switches?

But I'm not a racer, so any recommendation for suspension option? e.g. keep the old spring, just change the shock into Bilstein HD? or H&R + Bilstein Sport?

This will actually make your ride even stiffer. You may want to start with changing your tires as they can significantly change the ride quality. Certain tires can make you ride ride real stiff etc.

Also does you car have ROW 030 suspension? To verify look under your front hood there is a Porsche sticker and decode your option code here http://www.kindel.com/porsche/options.asp
good luck

The hestiation is found on auto mode. Esp, on 2500rpm and 5k something rpm on 4th and 5th gear. So now, the hesitation has gone and the mech said the MAF reading was incorrect, not completely failure. Fuel comsumption and throttle response are back to normal.
