Bilstein is currently testing a PASM compatible sport suspension. Unlike some of the other aftermarket suppliers, Bilstein tests for upwards of a year before releasing parts into the general public.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Brad,
Are any adjustable camber plates available for the front? I can't tell fromyour pics, but I'm guessing those are the stock top mounts.

Those are the stock upper mounts. I know of a few people working on the monoball uppers (should be 997CUP, PMNA parts are usually pricey)
I have heard of several failures recently with the JIC upper monoballs. I guess the actual plate they used is a little weak (havent seen it.. just info coming from the people racing them)
If you are capable, here is what I would do: Cast a upper mount with multiple camber positions and use the smallest monoball available (see WEVO upper mounts for early 911's/914's) Factory GT3 upper mounts are cast this same way.
The guy in the picture above is the Bilstein engineer they sent out with the new product. I didnt get his name.
Boring ! C'mon, not everything has to be informative and serious... we can have a laugh too you know!! [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif[/img]
Good job getting TonyC on board here. He is a good friend of mine. VERY smart guy and awesome fabricator. I *think* we did something like 14 full blown race cages together over a 1.5 year period! back in 02 or so. I try to send him as much work as possible.
dans/The Comedian,
I do see the resemblance and would have laughed (IF) I would have known who he was!!
Let me know if you want to see more pics of the 'guts'
