Hey guys,

My GT2 needs new coilovers before a track day Nov 14.

Anyone have anything on shelf?

JRZ/Moton/OEM revalved/MCS

Thanks,

No worries -- I keep finding 997 units, too.

Thanks for looking out!

Default Full set of JRZ RS PRO's available

I have a full set of JRZ RS PRO's, with the mounting plates and Tarrett Engineering drop links. They came off a 2011 997 Turbo Cab. They should never have been put on a Cab in the first place. I bought the car and had them removed. It was never tracked and only driven a few thousand miles on the street. The shocks were evaluated by Mike Levitas at TPC Racing. He ended up rebuilding the rears due to faulty seals. They have 0 miles on the rebuild. Let me know if these would work for you. I can send photos if necessary.

Those would be spectacular -- except I don't think the 997 struts will fit 996s

The fronts would work. It's the same shock but they use an adapter sleeve for the TT uprights and different upper mounts. The rear is the problem as the 997 cars use the "pitch fork" mounting arrangement at the bottom. I will be selling my JRZ RS Pros with remote canisters and QD later this year but it won't be this month..

Henry,
Get hold of Tim Olsen, he will get you what you want for a fair price. He knows his stuff and is very helpful. My used set of JRZ 3-ways were rebuilt by Tim and I am very happy with them.
