Would it be match in a 996 C2 with KW coilovers too?
With KW Coilovers, there is a system for the 996 C2.

GTS-R is on a distinguished road
Anymore feedback on this system for those who have installed it?

I am installing one now in a TT and the quality is very nice no problems yet,tomorrow we will purge the system and start setting the car etc.
Looks nice I hope it is not only for bling but is works great in the track too.

I run my car fairly low and have few issues. Worst case scenario is that I scrape the black plastic replaceable lip spoiler. I've scraped it probably hundreds of times at this point and it still doesn't look that bad. What are you guys doing to necessitate a lift? A very expensive one at that

What purpose would it serve at the track?

At the track the only advantage is that the car can be very low and then in the street it can be raised.
In the past I wanted my car to be lower for the track and I cant because it was a PITA in the street.

Will you ride around with it jacked up in the street, or only when you come across an obstacle?

I will use the low setting when the road is good and no speed bumps,when the road sucks and speed bumps I will have to use the 4x4 look.
I think this system will give a 45mm range.

If you set your alignment for the low setting, will it be thrown off considerably if you ride around at the higher settings on the poorer roads?

Excellent quistion that's yet to be answered. It will change the settings is my guess but will it revert to the same values when lowered? Camber, castor and toe-in/toe-out.

How difficult is the install? How much should I expect to pay from a reputable shop?

I agree. It will change when going up for sure. I am just wondering if repeated "up and downs" will cause it to change quicker than it normally would from regular driving...

Good point I will have to mediate the setting and measure in low and high ride height,camber will be affected and toe too bit the height ride height will be for low speed.

I had KW coilovers before and if I remember right, they come pre-set from the factory. You need to contact the dealer that sold these to you and get KW's recommended settings to use as a guide.
