Can you not find raised camber plates for the 996. Kohlen makes a raised camber plate for the 951 that drops the car by 1.2inches and you still use the factory springs and it gives you the ability to make quick changes for the track so you do not have to run radical camber on the streeet (saves your tires). Is this type of product not on the market for the 996??

Did you have to roll the fenders when you put the techarts on? Those Turbo sized techarts or 996?

400.00 from tirerack. Now that they're a sponsor, you guys might be able to get a good group buy?!

Actually they are $324.00 from tirerack for the 911 Turbo. That's before the 6speed discount.

I would also be interested. However, ddnt Lou just speak to H&R and they said that their springs would cause problems with '04 Turbos?

I'm in as well, but I am concerned about the H&Rs with the '04. Has anyone confirmed that the H&Rs are ok with the '04 TT?

I went to H&R's website. The part number is the same (29385) for '02 and '04 996TT. We need to get some clarification.

Well after going back and forth from distributors to H&R reps, this is my understanding. the non-race setup is recommended for every day use, these springs are compatible with the stock Turbo shocks.
