Lil' suspension ****...

Here is a JRZ RS1 single adjustable suspension for an AWD 996TT. Full monoballs though out. This is fantastic set up for guys that want a motosport quality monotube damper without the complexity of routing and properly setting up a remote canister set up. The dampers pair compression and rebound into one adjuster with 24 clicks. This suspension is going to receive new set of BBS E88 shoes to keep it's toes nice and happy. Enjoy...

Might be the angle, but those front strut mounts look like RWD only.

Negative. If you look closely you will see that the upper mounts are angled back to accommodate the AWD geometry. RWD mounts are flat. The dampers JRZ uses are the same for all the 6GT2/3/TT cars but for AWD the upper mounts are different. You can also see the silver collars under the sway bar brackets on the front dampers. These are used to adapt a 54mm damper body for a 56mm AWD upright. This is also done by Moton and MCS as those are all virtually the same design.

I see it. It was not quite as pronounced and obvious as some of the other AWD upper mounts. I think most of the higher quality suspension companies are using the same shocks on the awd and rwd 911 by changing upper mounts, sway links(if needed) and adding the spacer collar. These look like a top notch setup.

billygoat80 is infamous around these parts
Very nice! **** indeed. What suspension are you replacing? Did you go for custom rates? What rates and is it built for slicks or Street tires?

These are going on a friends car. They are going on a 996TT replacing a stock suspension. All spring rates are pick to order with JRZs when the suspension is built so yes, effectively they are all custom. BBS E88s will be added at the same time.
