I am super happy with the way the shocks turned out. It dampens well, and the softer spring rates helps tremendously on the aggressive street driving compared the the Billsteins which rode like a rock. The throttle respond was felt immediately. Its faster in the upper end range too. My mistake was the after market intake. Iam told its the combination of all those items that will make a difference. I think I gained another 10-15 hp through my butt dyno. AFter a month of driving, I had to get rid of the intake. It sounded mean, on the interior, but that noise was too much for a daily driver. I think the motor had to be dropped to change it back to stock. Now, its quiet, but still a tiny, tiny bit louder then stock which I can totally live with. The handling is so much better with these new socks.

Now, I have to deal with these KWs in my 996 turbo. That's is another story for another time. Its been taken apart while my mechanic drag his ass maintaining race cars in another state. Its off season now, so he may be able to get that thing going.

Those KW shocks will get the softer springs for sure. That will become my daily driver while my wife drives the PDK CaymanS. She doesn't want to drive stick shift cars anymore.
