Default 2008 Porsche 997TT Ohlins Coil Overs, Ground Control Camber Plates, & RSS Suspension

This customer came to us to really dial in his suspension in every way possible. With next to no lowering, the goal was purely handling related and with parts from Ohlins, Ground Control GMG Racing, and RSS, we helped him achieve that goal with his 997.



Parts Installed:
Porsche 997 Carrera 4 / 4S / Turbo / Turbo S Ohlins Road and Track Coilover Kit
Porsche 986/987/996/997 Adjustable Front Upper Camber Plates
Porsche 996/997 RSS Adjustable Rear Link Kit (Dogbones)
Porsche Adjustable Rear Toe Steer Kit
Porsche 997.1 Turbo GMG Racing WC Sway Bar Kit



The Build

All the new goods!













Installation




































Now armed with an amazing suspension package, this Porsche won't even flinch when track time comes.

Great job, Ohlins are great.

One question though, I've had adjustable Ohlins on my Audi before and as much as it was amazing, it was super difficult to adjust the suspension just right for the street vs. track, or for dual purpose... so, you either had a hard ride and good handling, or comfort... that was my biggest problem with highly adjustable suspension.

Still still more cost effective than a girlfriend.
Excellent job. Love anything CAD and anodized.

Nice build!

I have an 08 Turbo as well. If i wanted to keep factory shocks but wanted to use adjustable camber plates, how would I do that? I need about -2.5 degrees for R comps but i can only get -1.5 degrees now. I have DSC PASM box and really like it.

Thanks!
