My 997 Turbo has done 60,000 miles from new and I have noticed, particularly driving down from the UK to my house in the south of France last week, that it is pattering on French autoroutes. The time has come therefore I think, to replace the shock absorbers. This car is never used for competition, rallying or track days (I have a 1977 3.3L RSR replica for for that). I was thinking of the Ohlins I have on the RSR, where they work very well but Ohlins only do a track orientated set-up for the 997TT. You have to disable PASM and come up with your own settings for bounce and rebound for the shocks, neither of which I really want to do. I want to buy shocks where some professional suspension engineer has sweated blood to get all the correct settings for me.

Is there any better alternative to the standard BILSTEIN9974B4P PASM shock kit? My car has 560HP, carbon ceramic brakes and runs 235/35 x 19 front and 305/30 x 19 rear Bridgestone RE050 tyres.

Any sensible advice would be welcome.

Thanks
Wilson
