More repairs required and a question on suspension

[mike996]

Evening all.

Just noticed a puff of steam from front of car - radiator leaking on front off side (is that passenger side?) - so will be taking it to garage - as I know it is a reasonably frequent here on the forums, I will post back with costs etc - although I dont think it will be too (gulp) expensive (how mahy times have I told the wife that!)

For the question - I have noticed that the option codes on the car (996) states that it has the "sports suspension" - apart from knocking my fillings out over bumpy services - what does this mean? Is this an adjustable suspension? If so, how can I adjust it, and what settings should it be on far fast(ish) (lunatic / irresponsible) normal road driving or for long distance (fast) driving.

I know the response will be that I should probably just leave it alone - but it is just like acne - you are always told to leave them alone, but you just cant help yourself!

I had a 996 (98) with optional sports pack of the time
As I remember the pack consisted of sports suspension (non adjustable), traction control, sports seats, and 18" wheels.
More fun to drive than my later C4S IMO.

Thanks - can never remember if it is "off" from the pavement or "off" from the drivers side. Another question answered and a little more room now made in my brain for more useless facts
