Just wondering if the 996gt2 came from the factory with H&R coilovers. I have a guy trying to sell me shocks and springs from a gt2 (they look like standard TT parts), and I thought the gt2s came fromt he factory with coilovers. Thanks.

No misunderstanding. Just making sure they matched.

you would be just as well off buying a set of JIC CROSS if there is a problem. really cant beat them bang for the buck as a suspension upgrade

I did front and rear sways (H&R), JIC 8/12 coilovers, adjustable control arms in the rear, and the sway links....the stock and even JIC ones are not confidence inspiring (although the new JIC links are supposed to be fine now....). I used Dan at Vivid and did a big package to save money.
