I have sold my 997.1 GT3, and the new owner is returning it to a street setup. That means I have this amazing, low mileage, Tractive Suspension package for sale. Package includes all 4 corners, the DSC Control box, and the 3 axis accelerometer required for 997.1 cars. Swift spring rates are 7.0 kg/mm and 13.0 kg/mm (392 lb/in and 728 lb/in). Everything you need for a 997.1 GT3, for a 997.2 you won't need the accelerometer but will require a reprogram of the DSC box which the helpful folks at TPC tell me will cost $250. If your car is a non-GT3, there is some other front hardware required, TPC is the place for those details.

Price for the package, $6100 plus shipping. Parts are located in Rockville, MD.
If you are looking for a winter project that will shave significant time off of your lap times, this is it.

Which Tom? LOL
For 997 Turbo/C4, will require the following:
1. Angled top plates $599
2. Upright sleeves $200
3. Will also need different front sway bar links that mounts to uprights, race version $300. Or Tarett makes a special front sway mount kit specifically for Tractive shocks for Turbo/C4, will have to check with Tarett on price.

Roughly 2000 miles. Installed prior to the season in 2016. The DSC box and accelerometer were installed at that time as well, programmed to drive the Tractives.
I had run another DSC control box along with my stock PASM shocks for about 1 year, and was so impressed with the change in the car, I decided to take the plunge and go with the superior technology of the Tractives. It was indeed an amazing change in the car.

I mean: Does the top mount plate allow to reach -2.5° camber front?

Absolutely, I was running 2.6 degrees negative up front and 2.0 in the rear. Of course, I had some shims in the front lower control arm to get to that, but not an excessive number. The top monoball is reversible just like the stock one as well, so you can rotate that and get an additional 1 degree or so negative that way.

Did I mention it also comes with this cool Tractive labeled tool for adjusting the spring perches? The perches have a nice rubber tipped lock screw that secures them on the body of the shock. This alone is worth the price!

Just curious…
How much better is this set up if any in comparison to a well executed "mechanical" set up like JRZ? Is the DSC that good? In say a car tracked only 4-6 times a year and the rest a road car? Anyone got an opinion?

And don't forget, with an adjustable, fully active suspension, you can set the shocks full soft for the street, and then go to the aggressive setting only when on track. It is actually a much better solution for a part time track car than going to a full track setup that makes the car unpleasant on the street. I too have been there on my previous 993, and it made the car much less enjoyable on the street.

I have intrax 1K2. Not that bad but I never had the oem set up and don't know how it works.
I drive on montain roads that sometimes can be "bumpy".
That is why I'am looking for a new hardware to deal with.
Using accelerometer for a suspension sounds quite like "star trek" stuff for me. Surprinsing and interesting. Hard to "imagine", I would like to test.
