996 Targa Suspension Options?

[moosey]

I need help as to what sport suspension kits out there will be safe for a 996 Targa. I read with mixed opinions about sport suspension for the 996 Targa. Anyone on the board have a 996 Targa with any of the following : X74 / PSS9 / Euro M030? Lastly, I have a Porsche sport exhaust from a 1999 996 that I took off and put on my 2002 Targa, but it does not seem to be loud even with the valve being open all the time, did Porsche redesign the PSE for model years 2002 and up? Or is it time to replace with a new PSE? Thanks

Any US, X74 or RoW Sport suspension is fine for a Targa.

Porsche says the MY99 PSE should not be used on 3.6 liter engines - the pipes for the 3.4 are smaller.

You should replace the PSE with a 3.6 liter style mufflers.

Loren, I have read that some members on this board said that Porsche does not reccommend any sport suspension for the 996 Targa, because you risk of bending the frame over rough roads? I just want to make sure, but you know everyrhing so i guess I will order it form Gert. Thanks !

They say that about Cabs too - but many folks have done it without problems. The MY2002 and newer cars do have stiffer chassis than the early cars.

Ok I'm gonna take your advice! I also wanted to get your opinion about putting the tequipment 996 High Polish 18inch Carrera 5-Spoke wheels on a Arctic Silver 996 Targa, do you think it will be to much? I cant seem to find any pics. Thanks Again!
