6/9kg
the fronts have camber plates and the rears come with alum top mounts. you don't need to use any of your OE parts.

Hi Everyone,
Finally got a chance to install on my 996TT. My initial impressions and my girlfriend's is that it's more comfortable than stock in that it's less stiff and the bumps are softened without bounciness. I took some hard turns and the car handles beautifully. I'm going to wait a couple days and then stiffen up the ride and see how it goes.

They come with 6/9kg spring rates. You can customize the spring rate if you want.

I don't. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most OE suspensions have progressive spring rates not linear so there isn't a fixed number. Does that make sense?

It is something I am considering, but I am not in a rush to do so. I do not see myself as getting to it before the fall at the earliest.
That being said, if you are still looking for sponsors, I can put off some other things I am doing to get them onto the car. I am building a 1963 Morris Minor with a V8, and it is taking up 2 garages in pieces, so I am trying to finish that for a competition in the end of September)\, and that is taking most of my time in the garage.
