The Porsche Upgrade Most Owners Waste Money On | Andy Hendriksen (While You're In There)

The Porsche Upgrade Most Owners Waste Money On | Andy Hendriksen (While You're In There)

Porsche owners love upgrading their cars. But when does an upgrade actually make your Porsche worse?

Andy Hendriksen from the "While You're In There" YouTube channel joins me again for a detailed conversation about one of the easiest places to spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily: suspension.


We get into coilovers, OEM suspension, worn shocks, bushings, control arms, alignment, corner balancing, tires, ride height and the expensive parts Porsche owners are often convinced they need.


Andy has tried Bilstein, KW, KONI, Öhlins and plenty of factory Porsche setups across everything from the 993 and 996 to the 987. His conclusion might surprise you.
