Rennline Sport + Coilovers
Someone was asking about these in the 996 subreddit so I’d thought I would share.
I’ve had them on for a few days now and initial impressions are that I like them a lot!
I’ve driven them in a mix of around town, freeway, and back roads. I drive my car at least 4 days a week and my commute is through some twisty wine country roads.
The ride is just as good or better than my stock suspension. Granted it was getting pretty tired. I have the dampers set at 16 clicks in the back and 15 in the front, essentially in the middle and it is not harsh at all. I’ll probably try a few clicks firmer.
Mid corner the car feels a lot flatter which I like a lot. I’m sure some of that can be attributed to the age of the parts I replaced. I am also not chasing lap times and I keep it “respectable” on the street.
I’d say they are a pretty good value for money too. The original plan was to do the Bilstein/Eibach combo, but for the C4 the B8’s seem to be on permanent back order either on their own or the B12 kit. Even sites that said it was available when I placed the order emailed me back saying it was on back order with no ETA. The money I save on parts went partly into more labor getting the ride dialed, and corner balanced at one of the top Porsche speed shops in my area.
Overall I have to say I’m impressed. I went with them on a whim and am stoked on it.
