Engineered for track use, these coilovers feature fully adjustable rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression settings, allowing precise tuning for optimal handling and stability. The 12-position rebound adjustment, along with 12-position high-speed and 14-position low-speed compression adjustments, are controlled via external canisters, providing independent and accurate control over suspension behavior. Constructed with durable materials and advanced engineering, these coilovers deliver improved responsiveness, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering performance, making them ideal for competitive driving and spirited street use.

Designed to fit 1997-2005 Porsche 911 GT2/GT3 models with the specified engine configurations, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for track days, autocross, or aggressive street driving, offering adjustable ride height and damping characteristics to suit various driving conditions. Installation involves replacing the stock shocks and springs with the coilover units, which include all necessary components for a straightforward upgrade. Compatibility is specific to the listed model years and chassis, ensuring optimal fitment and performance. These coilovers provide a versatile suspension solution for enthusiasts seeking precise handling and customization.
