longer linear springs should help, could also have top mount spacers made front + back , pull off the chin spoiler and brake ducts ... would be WICKED fun...
The stock USA 996 C2 shocks/springs were pretty high....not as high as the Rothmans car but they would be much higher than stock GT3 and would be plug and play installation. The USA version of M030 was not much, if any, lower than the stock non-M030.
Did they open up the fender/wheel arches on the Rothmans car pictured above?
I've wanted to do something similar for a while... Ideally converting a "driver quality" 996 turbo into a 959 homage.
Longer springs, improved belly pans, urethane flaps, Braid wheels, rally tires, classic race team livery...
This is directionally what I’m doing to my 996TT. But more functionally for rallycross...not do livery, etc. (though I love the Rothmans livery and actually had a Rothmans car). I’m about 1” higher above stock and may need to go more. I looked at Braid wheels but passed for now due to having to add spacers if with Braids. Stayed with OEM hollows with Hakka R3s (good for stock, AWD class in rallycross). Thinking about underbody pans, etc.
Here is photo to illustrate ride height for rally. Tires are now different. And roof rack now has LED lights.
There was a version of the 996 RS that was built for rally in Europe so it can be done. There is a guy in the cup car forums that converted his 996 cup into a rally car.

How high can 996 coil overs go?
