This isn't a eureka moment, but...
I found the ride on my C4S quite harsh. I found the threads related to a TSB to adjust tyre pressures and I dropped mine accordingly. The ride was greatly improved.
I replaced all off the suspension links in November and had the alignment done. The alignment Centre commented that they had to put a few pounds into each tyre. I explained why.
It was only today that I realized I hadn't had to adjust the tyre pressures back down. The ride - obviously due to the new rubber bushes - is supple at standard factory pressure and 12 month old PS2s
So for those that find the ride in their cars quite harsh, just consider the age of suspension bushes, as while they may not be making any noise or knocks, the younges 996 Bushes are now 14 years old and will have lost their elasticity. Dropping tyre pressures will only mask the real issue.
Just food for thought for those unhappy with a harsh ride.
