apples to oranges! this car will never handle like a porsche. it wasnt meant to be. it will however hold its own on the high speed roads and still be safe.
the lowered springs on my 32 would bounce like a ball without the proper shocks. springs keep the suspension up and shocks control the rebound.
velociabstract has done most every combo known on his car and he road course races.(very well i may add!) read his threads to see what he has felt and done to his. it may be of help.
because of the virtually zero aftermarket support you are stuck with whats available. porsche has unlimited support for almost all of their cars.
