Thanks K-Man. I know that the PSS9's come with springs, like I said before, I've had a set, sold sets but have yet to try one on a cayman S.
My CS is a weekend/track/just feel like driving car. I own a Honda dealership and drive an Accord during the week so having a track car is opk with me. Comfort is not too much of an issue but performance is. I am running a 1:56 at Tremblant these days and would like to drop down into the 1:53 range to chase the faster GT3 guys. A switch to Pilot Cups (from RA1's), an
LSD and a set of coil overs should help the cause, and alsways putting more track miles helps too.
Obvioulsy the driver makes a huge difference so just because the 996 TT had Motons and was not leavinbg you behind does not make the shocks bad or worse than the Bilstein's.
I leave my car set up (aligned) at track specks. No need to put it back and forth, I'm at the track at least ever second wekend.
P.S. I have 24,000km on the car as of now.

LSD - Limited Slip Differential
|
 |
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.
