Not a GT3..... but thought you guys might enjoy.

Thanks to all those that helped with input.

So after going back and forth I decided on a new suspension:

Shocks: JRZ RS Pro
Springs: Eibach Race Springs
Front Sway Bars: RSS
Rear Sway Bars: RSS
Drop Links: RSS
Rear Toe Links: ERP

Mirage International in San Diego is doing the complete blueprint, build, and set up. Mirage sets up most of the Porsche's that compete in POC & PCA club racing. Without him or his set up expertise, this build would not be possible.

As anyone that has gotten a adjustable suspension knows that no matter how good of a suspension you get... its worthless without the correct set up. Thats why I went with Jae @ Mirage International in San Diego.


First off I have to say the the customer service we received from JRZ was second to none. They always answered all of my question and service and support was awesome, before I even purchased anything of theirs!

Bryan and Mike at RSS were also great and I have to say their customer service was better than any other aftermarket supplier. Always return phone calls right away and ship products out same day.

What spring rates did you use front and rear?

 

650/850

 

Any idea what the stock spring rates were?

Good luck with the new setup. Reason I'm asking these questions is I've been doing a bunch of suspension mods to my turbo trying to improve it's track performance.

 

no idea on the spring rates... im pretty sure they are very soft... perhaps in the 300 range

also they are very different from coilover race springs...i think stocks are progressive so they dont have a exact number like race springs

 

Thanks. Your car looks great. Ride height in the avatar is perfect.

 

congrats mobonic, everything looks great... i'm hoping a suspension overhaul is in the the near future for my ride as well.

 

How does your car feel on the street with the shocks dialed back on the 650/850 springs? How has the track performance changed with the new springs?

Car is still in the shop..

I will report back in a few days after I pick her up.

First track event is next week!

Just ordered my Kumho V710's!

 

Nice thread!!!

 

Good luck.

 

Got the call this morning from Jae @ Mirage International "She's ready!"

I have to say, Jae did an amazing job installing the suspension, roll bar, and seat.

The ride height is perfect!

Be the judge yourself!

I have to say that the ride quality is excellent!!!

I was scared it would be harsh with the 650/850 spring set up... but on the freeway and smooth roads is even better than stock..

The one place you fee the stiffness is on local bad road... then it is bumpy.. but other than that its fantastic.

JRZ really makes a awesome product!! Customer for life!

 

Nice setup, similar to mine. Transforms the car for sure.

Question: Who makes those solid mounts?

 

solid mounts were straight from JRZ
