Front Air Lift Suspension Options for PSS10's
 
Any suggestions out there for PSS10's on my 997TT. Car is set at GT2 specs and has a carbon fiber lip on it. Cutting it real close a lot on some driveways and lots so looking for a front lift. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I have the techart hydraulic front lift kit set up with my PSS10s. Saved my Techart front lip countless times. Expensive but works.

Thx Thuggy! How much was the kit, and how much to install?

I have the KW lift kit. Works great and I believe it is much quicker at raising the turbo than the the air compressor type of Cargraphic. I think KW makes a life kit they raises the back end as well. Pretty crazy.

I cant remember as its been a couple of years and it was done along with other work (Techart chin spoiler, GT2 side skirts etc) I think it was about 5K with install and alignment.

Thanks Guys! I was leaning Cargraphic bc I was worried about the hydraulic needing maintenance. Is that true?

I've had zero problems with my TechArt. I think hydraulic is a lot faster than air. Many times I've come to a place where it is needed unexpectedly and speed really mattered. e.g. coming down a hill and hitting an intersection.

The TechArt lift works really great. We've installed a few of them. Cost of the front lift kit is somewhere around $5500 if I remember correctly.

The hydraulic kit is faster and quieter than the cargraphic which I believe uses the porsche air pump.

I had some issues on install (older part) but the Techart guys were first class in support and getting me squared away, even reimbursing me for install time to change the part. I have no problems recommending Techart.

Thanks Guys! Now I just need to find where I can pick up a Techart front lift kit, then find a place to install! Thanks again!!!

I think TA is the only setup that incorporates the lift into the car and looks OEM - don't Cargraphics and KW require a remote?

My KW's come with an illuminated button that I mounted in the ash try. It also comes with a remote. I didn't like the TA because you loose the universal remote feature which I need.

I also looked at getting the OEM GT3 lift kit but it took too much effort to source all the parts.

I mounted mine on the drivers side wall. I will get a picture.
