I have a 997.2 GT3 on order. The dealer just contacted me. Normally the car will be built in june, but if I want the noselift function there is a problem. Noselift will only be available for build month september and later .

So it means, either wait another 4 months, or get an aftermarket one.

Has anyone here got the aftermarket lift function on an OEM suspension as sold by cargraphic? Does it affect handling in any way?

 

The Cargraphic Airlift System doesn't effect handling characteristics in any way as tested by world famous motorsports driver Walter Röhrl.
Here is a video of some testing:

Nice, and does it fit a gen2 GT3?
And by fit I mean on top of the existing shocks. No new shocks

 

ir_fuel,

The Cargraphic Airlift System RETROFIT KIT will indeed fit your 997.2 (Gen 2) GT3. Purchasing new shocks will NOT be nec. Hope that helps. Thanks.

Great

Thanks for the information.

 

I need this kit too..underground parking in paris are really killing the front lip...and god i love those rims too

 

By the way, did you happen to see the price from Porsche for the OEM noselift?
Porsche takes the cake...

 

How much is this option from Porsche?

 

Hi Bryan, does the addition of those units above the struts raise the car a little and if so is it compensated for by lowering the car to accomadate? Does it affect how much the car can be lowered?

Also, with the bladders that inflate to raise the car, is there a risk of them being punctured or do they sit clear of the remaining suspension?
Please PM a price for a 997.2 gt3 retrofit kit to OEM susp.

 

Well, in Europe it is a €3146 option.

So if you tell me Porsche takes the cake you are saying you can do it cheaper overhere (in EU that is)?

 

How much is this device?

 

We had heard rumors that in USA and EU - it could be more than double €3146 , we figured the option from Porsche would be pricey, but understand it's a option from the factory and for those whom want it direct from the OEM, worth it. If the option price is not as speculated, that's great news.

In USA, the Cargraphic retrofit kit is $3499 USD, I believe that in EU the retrofit kit € price should reflect something similar to the USD price direct from Cargraphic in Germany or your local EU Cargraphic dealer. I realize it's still not cheap, but well worth it for owners looking for this option. Thanks.

 

It was speculated to be around an $8K - $10K+ option from Porsche, but we'll have updated info from Porsche NA shortly... Hopefully they have dropped the price of the new noselift option

 

PM Sent, thanks.

 

That would be pure bull*
The noselift on the Lambo Gallardo doesn't even cost as much. ( is a 3K € option)
