Been runnning H&R with GT2/GT3 sways and TRG drops on 996TT for about 4k miles. Very smooth, predictable feel. Easy ride, quiet, adjustable, and well made. Installer must know what they are doing, of course, especially if using GT@/GT3 sways. Probably not a firm enough product for very aggressive track use.

I got mine installed by the end of April (and re-checked one month later). So far I'm very happy with them: it makes a huge difference on the track, and keeps the car usable as a daily-driver.

Greetings,

My 2 cents would include.....spend 5 min & call Hienz @ Gemballa and understand if there is any dif in Gemballa/H&R product they sell and the straight H&R.
In Europe, I believe, there are dif H&R coilovers abailable for the TT....not sure which H&R sells here.........also, originally, H&R did not distribute the coil-over TT product in N.A. because of a contractual/patent situation w/Gemballa. The original product was developed w/some Gemballa involvement (and/or part or design).
Personally, highly recomend Gemballa/H&R setup and GT2/3 sways if you can swing that.
A year and half ago, I paid $3400 for mentioned c-overs........price probably has come down.....I've put H&R c-overs on other 911s and cost is usually in $2800 area.....GreggT
