Factory GT2 shocks ?

Hi all,
I see a post on here selling factory GT2 Coilovers ready for use on a 996TT. I've never contemplated this as an option, vs buying the common aftermarket Coilovers.
My question- why or why not? I'm sure they will be sold before I get a chance to buy them, but what are our experts on here have to say? Are they as good or better than say PSS9, 10, or KWv3?
Thanks!

The Gt2 is lighter than the turbo, so unless they have been re-valved specifically for the turbo, they may not be the best choice. Also, GT2 shocks are non-adjustable, the PSS10's have some adjustability although not much, and the KWv3's are 2 way adjustables if I'm not mistaken. I have the Moton 2 way adjustables and they are superior to any non-adjustables, but of course cost more.

I also have the Moton 2-ways (MCS is the new company, same guys). They are so much better than stock I was amazed. Expensive, but definitely worthwhile. It is the single most beneficial mod on my car.
