Default GT2 Upright and suspension pics

Could someone please post pics of the coilover and upright, front and rear, of the 996 GT2 stock suspension?

I'm trying to put a set GT2 of coilovers onto my 996TT and need to see all the hardware required for the swap.

Thanks

You might have better luck in the 996 GT2 section.
If not there has to be gt2's for sale in Houston time to time.
Take a camera.

No problem it can be done, but you may need to change upprights or you need to maschine a sleeve

Thanks to Oak (mp!)I now know that Moton makes the sleeve($45 each) to support the GT2 strut. Moton suspension uses the same package for the GT2 as the 996TT, but includes a sleeve for the 996TT. The parts required are a set of GT2 c/o's, new front c/o upper mounts and about five pieces of hardware associated with this mount(total about $375 @ Suncoast) and new sway bar links front and rear.

Currently, I need a set of spring perches front and rear, 6 locking rings, and GT2 sway bar links.

For a list of parts, get in touch with Aaron or Rick at Suncoast.

If you want adjustable coilovers, wouldn't an aftermarket setup be easier/cheaper?
