Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any information on these? Or even if they are available? I know TechArt makes a kit for the 997s with 60mm of lift, but is there anything available for our 996TTs?

We are looking at a new house and I can't get the 911 in the driveway without scraping the nose, I don't even think it'll go up the driveway into the garage (driveway had cars in it when we looked at the place).

It's in Japanese but this is the most popular lifting system in Japan

LEGENDS! Thanks guys! Greatly appreciated

 

These cars will get up a pretty steep drive. I have mine lower than GT2 height right now and can make it up my drive if I do it just right. Basically pull up like you are going to park next to the curb, then start the front up the drive and try to get the rear around 45 degrees once it starts to come up. Then reverse going down.

I used to scrape sometimes at stock height until I mastered this.

 

Chad, do you have some measurements as to how low your car is now? Mine is going in for some wider track tires and will be lowered to the top of the tires, realigned and corner balanced again.

 

Hey Larry, measured it tonight:

Top center wheel arch:
Front 24 5/8"
Rear 25"

I think GT2 height is Front 25 1/4" to top of wheel arch
Rear 25 1/2" top top of wheel arch

 

any luck with the lift kits?

looking into one as my new nose is almost done!

 

here's the two different set ups in action....

nice systems - however at those prices ($7k) maybe I just keep replacing lips/repainting every year?

 

Here is a third ..... by KW.

 

Hey! Thanks for that.

We bought the house, so its either a lift kit or I redo the driveway, which I'm pretty sure I am going to do anyway. However even with redoing the driveway I'm not 100% convinced that I'll get the car up it

The TechArt kit is only for the 997 cars though correct? And Cargraphic have an offering for the 996s.

It also seems according to CJV's post that KW offer one as well which is the first I've heard of.

 

lets get a group buy together!

Apparently CG raised their price...

 

Guys,

The only options on the market are $7k+ solutions (from Germany) for a 30 second "lift & hold"? Seems someone can come up with a creative solution for <$5k; isn't there a whole "cottage industry" of this type of thing amongst the low-rider crowd?

Just my 2c, you have a customer here at $4k otherwise I have 2 18" 2x4's in the trunk for emergencies.

 

well I called some lowrider companies today.

They all use air shocks I tried to explain the idea here re: inflating the mount but I dont think they understood.

bottom line is, we should be able to get something like this to work. How hard can it be?

1) inflatable strut sandwiches
2) air tubes/hoses
2) small pump to inflate
3) sensors to read pressure ( or simply off/on)
4) actuator
