996 Turbo / GT2 Turbo discussion on previous model 2000-2005 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and 911 GT2.

Replace my shocks or go for coil overs.

I assumed that the Eibach bars were designed to work with stock drop links so I figured I could use the ones I already have. Are adjustable drop links required in order to run the Eibach bars?? If so I'll get them, I'd love to confirm this.

Thanks
Stick with OEM front drop links (or whatever came with your coil overs) and get some rear Tarett adjustable DLs... The thick front adjustable drop links often create a lot of clearance issues with the AWD uprights so it's simpler to not open up that can of worms...

Thanks! Sounds good. I did notice the front ones that came with the coilovers are a great fit.

Custom Tarrett DL's arrived today and fitted today :-) . Had to do a small mod, see pics. No more binding, yippee.
996TT with the AWD really need these bent links, the straight ones do not work, believe me I've tried every angle, spacers and length. The PSS10 ones do not work with the Eibach sways either, they were over stretched and badly split on the rubber dust cover.
Ira at Tarrett was amazing to deal with and can not thank him enough for his excellent service.

I've heard good things about KW's, I've only had my PSS10's on for a couple of months now. TimCloud has had his on for about 50 to 60k's without an issue.

Are you getting any binding? There's not much space in there with the awd.

Hound suggested using blue painters tape around the areas that you think will most likely bind, if it does you will easily see the evidence.

You responded to another spammer. 4 posts, grabs pieces of a previous post (this time same as last) and has a link to spam crap that's often edited out after a bit but folks who receive email get a chance to be exploited. Best to just ignore and report

I think we better quit it before a mod steps in as this has gone off topic big time.
It's a shame you guys are in different states. I would love to see how much better your cars perform to my mostly stock ride.

Sorry to drop into and old thread but I just acquired a new to me 996TT that I would like to tastefully lower for some spirited street driving. After reading this thread I have narrowed it down to pss10 or h&r street setup. I am shooting for stock gt2 height and certainly no lower. My fear with the h&r street is that it may end up lower than gt2 height. My fear with the Pss10 is that it will have to be setup quite a bit higher than gt2 height. What are your experiences with these setups?

Thanks, Mike
