Also posted on the Turbo forum;

First, I read the thread on this topic from 2012. I am more interested in
suspension along with overall opinion.

Background. I have owned; 1979 Andial 350HP Turbo, 97 993 Turbo and a 2005
996 Turbo which I modded with PSS9 suspension.

Also owned 2007 GT3 and numerous other Porsches.

Current; 2006 Viper with a stroked motor, forged internals, Stryker heads,
full Belanger exhaust, Motons and 3.55s. About 650 HP and less than 6k miles.

I am looking to getting back to Porsche and keeping the Viper. Loved the GT3
but it is very low, maybe a .2 with nose lift, but the closest thing to what
Porsche used to be. Also considering another Turbo, 07 - 09, but think they
are a bit soft in the suspension department. Read the that issue was fixed in
2010 but someone said the difference was just different shocks. Also saw an
08 Turbo the guy says was set up Euro ride height at the factory? Did not know
thins could be done.

Bottom line, is there a cost effective way to set up an 07 -09 Turbo suspension
to bring it close to GT3 handling?

Thanks,
Herc

 

I had an 09 Turbo that I put TechArt springs on while retaining factory dampers. Ride height was lowered about an inch and it handled well. Not as sharp as a GT3, but was plenty fine for my uses (it was a pure street car for me). That route was a lot cheaper than putting in new coilovers. There are likely a number of other springs that are even most cost effective than TechArt (I went with TechArt because I also did a body kit, so I just did pure TechArt for the mods).
