I haven't tried the air suspension but no, the steel suspension on my RWD is quite good. From reviews I've read/seen the consensus seems to be that Porsche has done a really good job on ride quality even on the steel suspension. I'm no expert, but compared to my Model S with air suspension, you feel the road more but all the bumps are more dulled. It's a very pleasant balance between feeling connected to the road without being harsh.

I agree...my ride is very good and MUCH better than my (previous) BMW M2

I drove air and springs back to back, hardly any difference at all on Dutch roads (which are considered quite good), which is why I didn't take it. Seemed like something extra that could break and another 3k option.
