Searched but couldn't find anything regarding the correct spanner wrench for stock 996 Gt2 coilovers. I want to lower the front about 5-10mm on my Gt2. Porsche Dealer couldn't find anything and Rhonda @ Fvd only sells Bilstein... Does anyone know where I could pick up a set? Thanks!

Also ordered Fvd tune, 5 bar, DVs, Bmc filter, and straight pipes from Rhonda this week! All I can say is wow with their customer service and how much time they put into satisfying their customers. I've called Rhonda multipe times this past year and she is great with all her knowledge and facts she gives me. Makes me feel like a noob about my car.

Haven't posted in awhile but ive also put Gt2 center caps on from an 04, euro side markers, and fresh set of tires. Im at 3040 miles now



But yeah if anyone knows about the spanner wrench question it would be greatly appreciated.

 

any motorcycle shop should have the spanner wrenches.

 

Thanks TT Gasman, I'll try that if my friends wrenches don't work... I would think they're pretty universal

 

No one has ever adjusted their stock suspension on their Gt2? ha

I believe the stock GT2 coilovers are manufactured by H&R (springs) and Bilstein shocks. H&R spanner wrenches should work but don't quote me 100%

 

subscribed...interested in this info also in case I ever have to adj ride height on my gt2

 

Finally following up after my question, the Bilstein wrench Fvd sells fits perfectly on stock gt2 coils. I just lowered my car 3/8" in the front, no more reverse rake!!

Here's the link for the wrench, you really only need one to adjust them..

nice info to have...snap a few pics of your GT2 with the present rake ... mine is the Euro setup so it sits quite low...and has the additional brake ducting bits which were on the Euro market cars which I'm afraid or ripping off or damaging on stuff ... looks ever so very slightly like a reverse rake from some angles but perfect from others...it's exactly how it was from the factory and drives perfect but it is quite low... I asked Porsche experts about this and they said that is how the car is supposed to be...the car was setup exactly as it is and when aligned to Euro specifications that is how it should be and looking at profile of it and taking measurments, it's actually spot on level front to rear, just may not look like it at some angles..

 

+1 FVD or H&R

Sunir, try up 5mm in the rear. See hoe she looks and feels. You can get away with not aligning if you have recently up to about 5mm +-

 

^^^ good tip, that's what I thought also if anything the rear could go up ever so slightly,...here are a few more pics...honestly as it sits it is spot on level when measured ... check out the first pic she looks perfectly level...then on the profile ever so slight reverse rake and then looks levl again on the 3rd pic lol!! I guess Porsche hada reason for doing what they do, they made it so this I guess is how they wanted to set her up...haha!

 

where did you get the headlight covers they look great!

 

those are laminx blue tinted protective film...hand cut to fit perfectly onto the headlights when I got the tint done

 

What % is your tint? Looks great!

 

What are you guys measuring from the ground to the top of the fender at each wheel when the car is on level ground? I'm at 25.5" on all corners with 19s.
