Default Suspension?

okay, here is the deal. brought the 2002 TT Roadster 225 Q w/APR into dealer for key remote replacement. takes all day apparently, so they gave me a 2003 stock boxster as a loaner. so now here i am driving the boxster and noticing that it hugs the ground whereas the TT sometimes feels like it's floating. you know, you hit a dip or high area and the car kind of feels like it's gone for a minute? well, the porsche likes those moments and takes them to show you how good it handles and how it can get sucked to the ground.

anyone got any ideas for suspension replacement? i've got two more years on my lease with the TT.

Help

Default Just about any aftermarket suspension will get rid of the floaty feeling

Which one you get depends on what you are looking for in ride quality vs handling and what kind of ride height change you want. If you want adjustability you'll probably want coilovers otherwise you can get just springs and shocks.
I've had bilstein sports with eibach springs on my car for almost 2 years now and I love the combination. Good compromise of handling and ride quality IMO. Lowers the car about an inch.

I have H&R springs and Koni Sport Adjustables, you can externally adjust them yourself for just the right feel. Springs and struts are $759 total w/shipping to any 50 states.

Thanks for the info. I really just want to make the car less VW feeling (sloshy) and more "german" (thing BMW/Porsche). Why didn't I just get a BMW or Porsche? If you're a TT owner you know why.

Style.
