Good afternoon.

I have secured the U.S. markets first five sets of Bilstein Damptronic Coilovers for the Porsche 997 GT3.

For those unaware, Porsche contracted Bilstein to develop the stock suspension on your car now. These new units will offer an even sportier ride and take you to the next level at the track.

Other highlights include:

-BILSTEIN mono-tube/inverted technology
-PASM-function and car sensors remain fully active
-BILSTEIN road tested and tuned
-BILSTEIN comfort & sport setting
-Threaded shock body for height adjustment
-German TUV certificate

If you have further questions, just ask. I can also couple these with a variety of different ERP suspension components upon request.

I am offering an intro price to 6speed members. Please email me directly for pricing and ordering details.

paul oneil here
give me a call about these
i would need to know the spring rates but very interested
416.294.4973

 

Yes, what are the springrates compared to stock??

 

What is the average springrate for a coilover suspension?

 

Gents,

Working on getting this info asap. Stay tuned.

-Mike

 

Product Update:

Front Main:340lbs/in Tender:115lbs/in
Rear Main:570lbs/in Tender:115lbs/in

 

If I remember correctly the stock springs are:
Front: 255lbs/in
Rear: 600lbs/in
If that is true then these would be a bit stiffer up front and basically the same as stock in the rear. Can you confirm that? Or rather is that the right numbers for stock gt3/rs?

 

They look very nice- do you know if the Bilstein warranty is covered or voided by track use?

 

That is a good question.

We have been a Bilstein WD for over 5 years. They have a stated "lifetime warranty." Keep in mind that I have only had to exercise it just a handful of times. They have never denied me.

I guess it would depend on the type of failure.

Here is their web site with warranty info.

I have sets left. If anyone is interested, please contact me.

 

Mike

on rennlist NJ-GT just confirmed that the front springs are the same part number as on the 996gt3 - that is 40N/mm or 225lbs/inch

so it would appear that this kit has substantially more front spring as well as a linear rear spring that is in the same range as stock

the damping rate rates are of course likely different

 

Mike, how do these compare with the 997 GT3 RS setup???

 

That is another good question. How do the RS and Non-RS suspensions differ?

 

Mike, I'm also interested to hear more. Give me a ring (or e-mail) about this and the track camera setup/data acquisition system you guys are working on. TrackVision? AIM? MoTeC? AWE?

 

Just sent you a PM.
