I have the Damptronics on my 997.1 GT3 and have been tracking it and street driving it for about a year or two now. I went to the system because I thought the front springs were just way too soft on the track and switching the shocks to hard didn't really fix the problem. But I didn't want to disable the car for the street and I didn't want to start with a lot of adjustments - I had that on my Elise and never did figure it out. The increase in stiffness is not huge - I think the fronts went from 225 to 350 or so and the rears from the 500s to the 600s. The difference on the track was significant but I am now thinking I need to go stiffer. Springs are cheap but I think I will have to forget about the switchable PASM because I have no idea how the PASM map could be reflashed to conform to the new pieces and I think, otherwise, it won't work. Like all compromises on these cars, it seems like everything I do tends to make the car better for the track and less streetable. Bottom line, for an 88% track car, go with the Motons or equivalent and pay some one good to help you set up the car.

agreed.
i no longer drive my track car on street period.

I am right with you... I know it will be incrementally better and initially thought the plug and play nature of them damptronics was appealing... and now I have Rad (NJGT) saying I can order them with stiffer springs and valved properly to work with PASM which is not something that I knew was possible (If I am understanding him correctly).... hmmm....

I hope to be in your position someday

P.J.S.

forgot to add... take a look at this...

I already have the GMG sway bars and adjustable toe links... but interesting that this pakage exists

What about this clubsport suspension from Cargraphic? nonadjustable, but different than the B16s.

PJ: If you go to Gregg - he will supply you with a book of settings for the Pacific Northwest tracks under wet, dry and different tire set up. With your focus and speed, I would think JRZ or Moton is what you need. Take the time and do it right and only once. :-)

P.J.S.

very sound advice... I will likely head that direction when my money catches up with me :-)

see, what did i tell ya....
roberga and i went to same school and majored in helping others spread THEIR wealth.

P.J.S.

like i need the help in spending money on this car :-)

mooty

well, you did learn from the BEST.

There are a few Turbo guys on 6speed... xseal and e55amg are 2 that come to mind.

we lean more towards modifying the suspension that is on the gt3 rather than change the dampers to something that is comparable.

not apples/apples but you get the idea.
