you can do the S susp on a budget by just buying the us zanardi springs and match them up with the generic koni yellow that everyone and their mother-in-law sells.Not a bad street/track combo and you get to feel like a real racer/engineer because you can adjust the rebound.
What type of suspension is the best for ride and handling...?

Excellent! That's about all I have time to deal with these days. Thanks!
KW V3 (end of story).
for street setup, Tein Flex
Just ordered that combo. Thanks docjohn.
report back how you like it.You will need to modify the koni adjustment tool to get at the rear shock screw because it is shrouded by the metal surround.Do a search on prime for how to do that.
For normal road using I would be use bilsteins on the stock spring to starting.
Ordered the Dali tool, so if I actually receive it I should be good.
I had pretty stiff torsion bars and modified Bilsteins on my last 911 and it suited me fine, so I expect I'll be good here. I also don't want too much drop (Zanardis are 1/2"). I'll figure out what sways to use after I see how this feels.

Hmmmm, now I'm thinking Zanardi springs (1/2" drop) and Bilsteins on the higher perch. ???
Or those Type S units currently in the classifieds.

Well id say for OEM feel as far as ride comfort is concerned, so far I have upgraded to billstien + Tanabe GF210 lowering springs. 25% stiffer than stock (apparently) and autox my car frequently. The ride quality is great. and I still do well for basically OEM suspension. Nice and comfy.
Sweet. Be sure to let us know what you think. I so look forward to putting a set of those on my car.
Nice! You're going to love them. You should PM Billy Johnson for a good initial damper setup. He did a lot of development work for KW.
You should have bought the height adjustable coilovers. You know the ones where you can turn the bottom thingy to adjust ride height.
That's about the same wheel gap if not a tiny bit more then my bilstein on low perch with stock springs. I have a WW lip kit and can clear speed bumps. Take them on a angle it helps.
I've been debating on going KW V3 but I like my ride height now other then maybe a 1/4 to 1/2" lower all the way around would be nice. At the same time then I have to worry more about ground clearance.
