Techarts kit is not manufactured by FVD. Techart's coilover kits consists of bilstein shocks and eibach springs.

I really DON"T have money to spend. My dad wanted me to just get $300 springs, so workign him for the coilovers was enough. He will not pay very much more then the PSS-9's prob $2500 max, so...

FVD Kit

Yes, FVD DOES supply the kit to Techart and it IS based on Bilstein PSS9's- even comes in the mail in a Bilstein box. Also, FVD is right in your back yard (near BOCA)- I would highly rec. them for the install and corner balancing.

Ken, I am Harold, not Loren. You can get the GT2 sway through any P-car parts dealer, it is an original Porsche part used in both the GT2 and GT3. I have it set in the middle of three positions- slightly stiffer than stock Turbo bar. The car can now be induced to oversteer on hot turn ins, no understeer whatsoever. BTW, how did the shifter work out?

I basically live in Boca, do they have a website or phone # I can get them at...I ahve been on the FVD website many times, but no Boca location that I have seen.
Thanks,

Sorry, did not mean to imply that they are IN Boca- they are in Pompano Beach, which is pretty close to Boca. When you call, ask for Theo and mention my name- he is fantastic and will help you out with the numbers.

Had PSS9's on my 2002, H&Rs (the new ones) go on my 2003 next Monday for the CenDiv event at River Downs (Cincy) the following Saturday & Sunday. I should be able to give you a pretty good comparison report.
