My first task is to lower the car, and if I’m touching the suspension, I would rather go coilovers than just springs. My second is IF I’m going to get coilovers, get a set that will work as my experience grows. I don’t want to spend a few thousand on simple coilovers, then want 2-way or 3-way later. And yes the setup will continue to grow (links, bars, bushings,etc.). That’s all.

I run the ohlins r&t and am happy with it. But based on your options now, I’d go with the mcs one in the classifieds as my first choice. The jrz rs pro would be my second choice. Lot more adjustability which comes at a higher cost but worth every penny in my opinion.

I just picked up an 06 C2S and am in a similar position. I used to Instruct for PCA about 10 years ago, had kids, dropped the fun car and am now just getting back into it. Hoping to start with 4-5 days this year and build back up. How much experience do you have with suspension tuning? Is there a local shop that is familiar with one of those brands? It’s a lot to invest on shocks if you don’t have the support for them and it could actually make you slower.

Im taking a different approach and building a solid foundation first. I am collecting a ton of parts for spring time including RSS Front LCA’s, solid rear upper dog bones, rear toe adjusters with lock out plates, front and rear gt3/gt2 sway bars with drop links, H&R springs for now for altitude adjustment, and then upgrading to slotted rotors and a proper pad with gt3 fender liners and cooling ducts throughout. This is going to allow me to get a proper track alignment and get good camber out of the front and rear, stiffen up and minimize suspension movement due to rubber. Not going to have any unsettled rear movement under braking, and the car will have proper braking and cooling as well. From there I’ll then work with a shop as I progress back into the game and determine what the proper full 2/3 way setup should be.

everything I mentioned above can be done for under 6k and I feel would be a much better approach then jumping straight into a complicated Coilovers system.

Don’t some of these coilovers have significantly accelerated service schedules compared to other options?

Per Presto... “As per the manual the ohlins do have to be serviced every 30,000 kms (18,650 miles) of road use or 10-20 hrs of track time. Service includes changing the oil, seals etc.” - https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...s-r-and-t.html

That sounds like a more sensible approach. Thanks for the input.

Unfortunately, I’ve been up and down, front and back on this forum and others, and have not found any good things said about the Dampteonic system on the track. Would have added it to the line up if it weren’t for that.

Lol! And the price tag to go with a GT3!

Thanks for that perspective, Tom. I don’t recall any of the reviews made of damptronics being paired with DSC. looks like I may need to do some more research.

Is there any place that has the Damptronics in stock? Seems like they are no longer available.
