A little suspension upgrades on a 997.2 TTS

Recently had the car in, "under the knife", for some suspension upgrades that really transformed the car. Lowered the car on GMG springs, added TPC front & rear sway bars, TPC drop links, & Tarett rear toe links. Combined all this with a custom/aggressive alignment and the result is pure magic. Big thanks to Boreham Motorsports in Phoenix for the work and the attention to detail in everything they did. The car drives a lot smoother now, tracks better, and overall has a better feel to it. Had a similar suspension setup on my 07 997.1 TT (yellow one in pic below) and that has been the one thing I missed since upgrading to the TTS.

Anyway a very happy camper here and can't wait for some good drives up North to see what it can really do.

Starting point for reference:



Springs & other parts...


Up and getting ready for alignment...








And the finished product...

Great choice of parts. I really love the TPC parts... They really know their stuff.

I agree. Between them and GMG, can't really get that much better.

Did the same thing and the wait was worth it. Just make sure to get someone who can do a proper alignment to maximize the components you are putting on.
