I had no idea that the GT2 was completey different from the 996TT I use to own. I traded the 996TT because of the braking system and the horsepower that the GT2 offered. Also arent the GT2 rims in the rear like a inch wider then the TT?

First of all, congratulations on your GT2. The wheels are an inch wider in the back. No need to change the suspension at all, just make sure that the suspension is per factory specs and that's it really. Unless you will track the car exclusivaly, there's no need for any suspension change on the GT2. Comes perfect as it is.

Starting with the '04 GT2 production , the suspension was modified by the factory to answer some press and owner feedback regarding " at the limit" behavior and steering feedback on the track.
The car is already difficult to maneuver in some urban settings ( driveways to gas stations and parking structures , etc., ) as it rides at 25-25.25 " stock height to the fender lips , compared to 26.5-26.75 " stock reg Turbo .
I'd leave it alone.

'Performance ride' and 'luxury feel' are at opposite ends of
the possibilities. I would leave the car alone and spend money
on driving schools and track days, tires, in that order.

I just didnt know how much it was changed internally that most people dont know thats all. Also for some show rims, I was thinking about some Hamann Forged Limited Edition.
