TechArt Noselift Kit Demo
Hey fellas, so far this kit is _just_ for the 997 but the idea/concept is one we could use for 996TT's with coil overs. Cargraphic does have a kit that does pretty much the same thing so we just need to nudge techart:

When I first saw this the other day I was curious if it would be easily adaptable to a 996.
I know a few spots in my area that something like this would come in handy when I get my 996TT.

Not really a novelty. After purchasing James Wong's black GT800 with lowered front, I had to have the car raised by 10 mm in order to have it clear my drive way. I would love to have system like this. Plus I feel like it puts me on the same league as Bugatti Veyron (LOL).

Anyone who thinks this is for posers.......
I understand the sentiment... BUT if you have a GT2 like I do and you try to get in/out of my driveway without damaging your car you have the experience of a "challenging drive" after only moving so many feet. 
I can't get in/out without severely angling the car gently rubbing the front splitter. That is with one front wheel WAY up in the air. I have had to do this with other modded cars for years so I am used to it but I cannot install a TechArt splitter I have sitting here unless I want it in pieces.
On the other hand, it absolutely wakes me up and gets me ready for anything I might encounter on the roads.
I'm not certain I would buy one of these setups [it seems you always have to give omething up in one direction to gain in another, right?] BUT I certainly find this interesting.

That would be SO helpful in many locations. Not just the drive way. There are places I will not go because I know the dip is just to much. Why you hating on us 996 guys
Nice BTW

Nice kit! Can you operate it while moving? Once you clear the driveway and is heading out, can you lower it without stopping? What's the warranty and reliability on these things? I heard airmatic on MB are prone to broke down (although they are for different purpose...)

I'm pretty good at it in low cars but it's sure nice to have it and the same for speed bumps.I understand the sentiment...

We'll be doing an install shortly so I'll have more on that for you soon...
On your car it would make at least 4hp depending on wind conditions
Hmm TechArt and Group Buy... this stuff isn't made in the far east ya' know
