rebuild shocks?
#16
Ohlins sells delete boxes that plug in to the wires so you don't get the warning but it's cheaper to just code it out with PIWIS, Durametric Pro, etc.
I actually haven't seen the warning pop up on my car yet but I'm sure it will come at some point, at which point I'll just code it off.
Edit: Once I removed DSC and re-installed the stock PASM box the error popped up. Easily coded it off with PIWIS.

Yes, I went with new OEM front and rear top mounts. The OEM fronts are already monoballs and allow for more than enough camber for my needs. I believe they're very similar if not identical to the Cup part but someone can correct me if that's incorrect. You could do aftermarket monoball rear top mounts if you wanted but OEM should be good for most use cases and fairly durable.

Bilstein is soon relaunching their recently discontinued "Clubsport" line as a new double adjustable EVO-R line for the Cups and GT3/RS. Nicer build quality, and alot cooler features than the predecessor line. Some really, really cool stuff too like inverted rear shocks for cars like BMW
s etc. etc. Something you would never get from the smaller shock companies. They told me the testing for the various Cup car kits is completing soon, and the street car kits should follow soon after.
They've already started releasing EVO-R for other Porsche models, and alot of other cars, so they are definitely coming down the line.
Definitely a kit to keep an eye on. Will slot in between a Ohlins R&T and a TTX. I personally like my re-valved Clubsports on my GT4/M3 just as much as the TTX on my other cars. They are great on track, and a bombproof setup that lasts years and years between rebuilds for street or track use.
If you're not in a huge hurry, and want an inverted front strut package, with double adjustability, this would be my choice. I love the R&T's, but once you get used to double adjustability, it's just too hard to ever go back to singles.

Very interesting. Do you happen to know if they’ll offer a PASM option?

Bilstein already offers a PASM/Damptronic direct replacement. You can probably find it cheaper through PSI.
They are the authorized seller and servicer for Bilstein now.

That I don't know. They currently offer a PSS9 single adjustable kit, but not sure if they feel there is enough demand for a new EVO-R kit for the 996 chassis. I don't believe there was ever a Clubsport kit for the 996.
I can ask my contact and see what they say.

I currently have the Ohlins R+T on my car, about 10k miles on those now. I think I am ready for something DA and have heard great things about the Bilstein Clubsport kit.

When l last checked with Bilstein Technical Center UK just a few years back, they were offering a rebuild service on factory GT3 shocks… can’t recall the price, but was quite reasonable. The contact number I had was: +44 116 289 8345. It would be a pain for most to deal with shipping, but an option perhaps.
I’ve recently moved to US with my 997.2 GT3… in retrospect, I should have had them rebuilt while I was living there 😤
