GT3 Bilstein Coils. Ride ok for street?

This will not be a full race car so I do not want a race coilover system with knock your teeth out stiffness. I ran Pss9 on my VW's and they were actually a bit on the soft side for my taste on the street. That is why I now run Full race custom shocks for track days and just regular sport shocks for the street.
Re: my 996, I have read a few threads with people who have installed these and feedback is positive for the most part. I am sure the ride is stiff, but not like full race suspensions...

I don't want it that stiff either because I live in Baltimore, MD were the streets are really horrible. Bad as NY roads...lol
I can get a set of decent used GT3 coils for less than a set of pss9's, so might just try them out and see how they feel. Have to be better than stock 99 C2 suspension...

You should ask Paul about his transformation, or just ready his thread.

Just read the threads about this. I found a guy with complete assembled Gt3 Coils with perches and springs, mounts and all. No control arms and swap bars sourced yet. Do I need the control arms to mount these coils? Still learning about these cars...

+1 you don't need control arms. The GT3 susp literally bolts into a C2 nothing else needs to be changed.
The stock GT3 susp already has camber compensation in the monoball strut mounts that won't negatively effect caster.
GT3 sway bars are a must.. If you are doing the GT3 susp w/ GT3 sway bars then you can just use the stock GT3 drop link. You don't 'Have to have" adj drop links unless you are building a track car that needs to be perfectly corner balanced.
