PhilH Posted 8February, 2020 Report Share Posted 8February, 2020 Does anyone here have any knowledge about these coil overs? Seem very cheap compared with others. https://pbbrakes.com/porsche-911-996-2wd-coilover-suspension-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 8February, 2020 Report Share Posted 8February, 2020 Have a chat with FlamingPorsche who put some Gecko's is his old Boxster. Similar sort of price when converted to A$ I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonk Posted 9February, 2020 Report Share Posted 9February, 2020 Check out BC Racing. I have them in my 997 and am very happy with them. Car is my daily with regular SMT driving and the odd track day. $1,300. Aus distributor is JustJap. Get the base model that reuse your factory uppers on the fronts to avoid unwanted noise as advised by BC Racing. PDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDean Posted 9February, 2020 Report Share Posted 9February, 2020 Was just searching through forum recently trying find some suspension info/options. Most of what I found was for PASM spec upgrades. Would like to lower mine a bit, but not make it too harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSS10 replacements are close to $4000 to purchase, then fitting on top. As it is a DD, and so far no track work, I just want something reasonable for street use. The car is at GT3 height now so need something compatible to the current set up. Will have a look at the BC racing gear. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 9June, 2020 Report Share Posted 9June, 2020 @PhilH I went searching for this thread on @LeeM’s advice: Based on this post: I take it you stuck with the Bilsteins in the end, and they’re matched to springs from a GT3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted 10June, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 10June, 2020 HI, Yep, the car had GT3 suspension when I bought it and 2 of the coilovers had slight leaks and car had a horrible thump whenever I went over a bump. I looked around at what options I could go for including taking it back to stock, however after much searching I had the Bilsteins that were on the car sent to Bilstein in SYD to be refurbished - at $750 a pair it was a LOT cheaper than replacing them with anything else. Car now drives like new. I have never had it on the track and do not plan too so the I had the coilovers set to the softest setting possible and I find them pretty good around town and great on a spitrited drive the=rough the hills - could not be happier.
