Suspension upgrade?

Anyone running the Bilstein damptronic coilovers?

How does the stiffness compare to a stock GT3 RS?

The Damptronics IMO are not a "great" leap forward over stock. Ollie is right, keep the stockies on unless you are a track rat then I would jump into Moton/JRZ

+1000. I totally agree. The stock suspension is great. Change the control arms and go all monoball heimjoints and metal bushings.
These are great changes for DD and occasional track events.
More serious tracking, then I would recommend improved coilover systems, ie. Motons.

I have the Damptronics on my C2S, and they are a huge improvement over the stock 997S suspension, however if I had a GT3 I would likely keep it stock.
