I read (or heard) it also has enough intelligence to lower the nose above 15 mph (or whatever speed.) I could imagine there's new signals out of the 997.2 ECU for the speed controlled lowering. The accumulator (tank) could be very small (baseball) and they've probably hidden in the undercarriage or the nose in front of one wheel, but retrofitting the complete system would be a pain of a job. I'd like to think the pneumatic lifting yoke is built into the top of the PASM strut (to avoid having any additional unsprung weight) and that would require updating to a new front strut assuming no other changes to the wheel carrier, etc. At first blush, it doesn't seem like a fun project. : )

New audio info!!

The lifting system front axle only weight 5kg and the new PCCB is less weight than the ones on the MK1 GT3/RS.

PCCB and Lifting system for me and can't wait for the review of new engine mount.

I will order it, and will retrofit to the GT2 if posible.

It just makes the car really streetable, specially on those ramps on NYC garages!

In places like Europe or LatAm with narrower, steeper ramps, its a must.

Didn't realise that it was speed determined also... Therefore system is likely to be a pain in the *** as well as expensive to install.... espescially if the input isn't already available on the ECU of the 997.1... Trust Porsche to make a retrofit hard, suppose they can't charge the big bucks otherwise...
