Bilstein -997.2

No one has placed them on their 09? If so can you post a pic of the front lip ride height to the ground ?

Just curious .Thanks in advance

Larry, the ride height is adjustable. You can dial it in to suit your desire.

You should be the trail blazer with this mod.

On the Turbo forum the ideal height and alignment has been discussed in such detail . It gave me a lot of insight before I bought mine. I had never imagined that the Gt3 spec on the Turbo would be the way to go .

This car is new .. in so many ways. Wanted to get ideas . It may not work for our driving as multiple drivers and steep ramps are quite different than what the Turbo faces. we'll see.

I have my suspension set up to ROW height, which I believe would be the same height on the 997.2. I get minor rubbing on the little plastic deflector in front of the frront wheels. The front nose doesn't rub at all. The nice part of ROW height is that Porsche has alignment figures available.

The GT3 height that you referred to is probably similar to ROW height.

For what it's worth....my file has GT3 height as 112 (+-10mm)F and 125 (+-10mm)R.
The car pictured cooked out to 115/108 L/RFront and 133/136 L/RRear w/corner balance.
Still was able to align car to OE spec.
I'd recomend Bilstein Damps for a car w/PASM....I'm satisfied.
Credit however goes to Mike @ AWE.....and discussions w/him last year on what we were after w/this car.
