GT3 factory coilovers. How's the ride?

I was wondering how stiff the factory GT3 Bilstein coilovers are for street driving? Second, what should I expect to pay for a good used set of them? Thanks.

No worse than a set of PSS9's. Interested in a set?

I used pss9's on VW's and they were really soft i thought for being a coilover. Could not use them for racing. Was more of sport set-up. How do they ride in a 996?

I am actually a bit confused that you would ask about a GT3 suspension and then dismiss the PSS9 as being too soft. PSS9 is not a racing suspension, and isn't advertised as that. And neither is the GT3 suspension. The two are actually pretty close in terms of performance when put on a 996.

If you are looking for a race suspension, you can't even look at GT3/PSS9/PSS10. You need something like a full Moton setup or another remote reservoir 2- or 3-way adjustable system.
