997 turbo hydraulic wing failure

Yep...If you have a Durametric Pro, you have a few options related to the coding and/or not raising/lowering or error messages.
I have played around with that a few times. Pretty straight forward...

Hey guys, thanks for the props! Rob knows we are getting close to a solution for the 997 turbo. Compared to what could be $pent (post 1 is outrageous) for a known failure prone hydraulic system, the electric ram option makes the most sense. In fact the 4" eRam kit is in demand. Note that factory extended height is only 2.4" for the coupe. It is amazing that 997TT's that are only 8 years old are experiencing hydraulic system failure, let alone the ones that have failed already. The OEM hydraulics were designed as a closed system - not set up to bleed or refill, some parts cannot be disassembled for rebuild! Failure is virtually guaranteed due to the location above the hot engine. I can report that dozens of 996 TT owners are quite pleased with their investment in eRams. Some bought the kit as insurance - to prevent the risk of corrosive Pentosin spraying down the engine and back bumper. Another other option I can provide is the "eBox", electronics that prevent the spoiler warning for cars converted to a fixed wing like the GT2, etc.

What's this all about? Manually control the height? Eliminates the hydraulic pumps?

997 TT eRam Kit is READY!
Finally the 997 TT eRam kit is READY! It took a long time and there were some design challenges along the way, but with the dedicated and generous help of a forum member from Oklahoma, WE DID IT! I'm so proud of this kit. It is a true upgrade from the 996TT kit. Here is a sneak peek: http://rennkit.com/product-info/997-turbo-eram-kit-2/
Now I need some beta testers. I will offer a one time discount for owners to install the eRam kit in exchange for pictures, feedback, suggestions on improvements, etc. Let me know if you are interested.

Briefly, under 2 hours with normal hand tools, easy access, simple wiring hook up. The whole hydro-electric system is first removed, then the eRam kit is bolted on. No cutting, drilling, sawing, modifications, etc. You can read more details at my website.

This is a great kit. Dave has spent a lot of time refining it with a lot of back and forth making sure that things fit properly. What I like is that the E-Ram design keeps all of the OEM functionality without worrying about leaks. The construction and parts used are top grade, you can tell there was a lot of thought behind longevity and simplicity in mind.
I have sent a lot of photo's and instructions to Dave on what it took to install the system. I would have to say that from start to finish, even being very detailed and picky, it should take no more than 2 hours or less once things are more refined.
To sum things up, I do not make any type of profit on these kits. My car only has 22k miles and never had any issues with my OEM hydraulics failing or leaking. What I saw was someone very passionate about the 996/997 turbo platform, and I wanted to help out. Dave doesn't mess around with something unless it is being done right, and I appreciate that.
If anyone is thinking about Beta Testing this kit, I wouldn't hesitate. To me I consider this an investment much like the coolant pipe fix.

The GT2 wing definitely looks amazing. However how does your suspension cope with the added down force?
Do you track the car?
Have you tuned your suspension to compensate?
Are there any negatives to the gt2 wing?
