DA aftermarket Shocks
Considering going with an after market shock and maybe springs....
I would like them to be Double Adjustable with spring rates not to far off stock....what are the choices?
Who has done this change, what did you use and how did you like it?
How is the ride? I still plan on driving it on the street.

i think for a GT-3 the only real choices are
Moton (Pro or club sport) http://www.motonsuspension.com (call steve @ www.rennsportsystems.com - a board sponsor)
Protrac/JRZ www.protrac.nl/jrz/
or Cartrdge engineering (porsche motorsports)
oh forgot to mention i have Moton's for my 964 cup car

I would like the rebound and spring rates to be already figured out.....just install and dial in.
For my Z06 i bought a set of DA Penske, from Penske for the Corvette...they were way off.
I had them redone by Guy Ankeny who is "the" guy to set up corvette chassis...he does Speed World cars and allot of club racers...autox .scca. ...huge difference when done right.
Who has the most experience with shock/spring chassis setups for Porsche that would work in low to mid speed tracks?

As you probably know, there is a LOT more to this than meets the eye.
Without question, a good set of DA shocks (properly configured) offers unparalled handling and flexibility but spring choices and valving plays a big role when such suspensions will be used on the street.
FWIW, we use custom-configured Moton Clubsports and tailor the spring package around the car's tire package and the driver's experience & skills. Its NOT a one-size-fits-all sort of thing.

I have the Moton CS with custom Eibach spring rates (a lot stiffer than stock). My set up was specifically developed for the GT3 by Craig Stanton. My ride is much, much better than stock with no bump steer. I agree there are no magic pills, you need to experiment or find someone that has a car set up similar to yours and see how it handles.
