Congratulations on the coilovers. Even at the softest setting it must handle better than stock.

GT2 specs, directly from the tech manual are: 118 + 5 (118-123 mm) in front, and 133 + 5 (133-138 mm) in the rear.

as they say.. don't mess with a millitary man. Especially not one that runs 10
Trust me, I tried to pursuade him into getting the stiffests springs possible but alas a I failed in my attempt to slow his launches down!

I remember one time I handed some alignment specs to some of the Peterson White Lighning race team lackey's they shook their heads!

Car looks great!
However, I do have a question.....Of all the coilover choices in the market, why did you choose JIC?
This is one of the few suspension companies which does not have a good reputation.

BTW AWD, JIC is well known in the Porsche community, alot of people run the JIC cross suepsnion and say that it is amazing, not as good as Moton but better then all of the others by a big margin especially for its price!

My installer is the crew chief for a local Porsche race team. They race 996 GT3's and C2's. They use the extremely expensive JRZ kits on their cars....and he was really digging my JIC. Said the qualiity and adjustability was awesome.
