So the main difference between the Cargraphic lift system and the Techart lift system is the fact that the Techart system is mechanical? They both lift at about the same rate and same height?

Thanks!

Any idea if it will fit the GT3mk2? (I know they have a factory option, but it isnt avail until september). What will the cost be of this kit in Europe?

Where can you see that?

"Hydraulic system is quiet" it states.

I was told when I visited CEC that it is a mechanical system. So I'm assuming a mechanical control of a hydraulic system?

The Cargraphic lift system is run off of the tire compressor for the flat tire system we have.

Need clarification please.

My apologies. My comment was ambiguous. I meant that the Cargraphic system was pneumatic as seen here:

Whereas the TechArt system is clearly hydraulic:



From the looks of the kit, fluid is pumped into the shocks, extending their travel. I see lots of points of failure for this system and I would rather spend far less and use an easily replaceable airbag that's separate from the shock. If the hydraulic system leaks, you're screwed. If the air system leaks, your car functions normally without the benefit of lifting the front end.

The safe bet is to not add even a remote possibility of shock losing its lifeblood.

True, plus you have to install the hydraulic pumps somewhere. Whereas, the Cargraphic system uses the cars compressor located in the trunk.

Install of the cargraphic system looks much simpler.

Conclusion, the Techart system will costs heaps more I guess (and it requires new shocks too)

Here are some of the advantages of the TechArt System.

1) Works with Porsche PASM active suspension (K&W system does not)
2) Works with an integrated OE-look console switch vs. a key fob remote
3) Works up to 40 mph vs. 35 mph
4) Has the highest amount of lift at 60mm vs. competitor's 45mm to 55mm
5) Hydraulic system is quiet and fast
(6 sec vs. 43 sec) vs. compressed air system that is noisy, hot and slow
6) 4 year/50,000 mile warranty vs. no warranty disclosed yet
