The fronts, I have used the C2 top mount but I have got the cargraphic lift kit fitted too, so far in it's short use it's been fine, I've removed the stabiliser blocks from the shocks and I've used C2 drop links, rightly or wrongly

Suggestion
I ran the GT3 topmounts on the front of mine, but there should be no reason why the standard Carrera ones won't work.

Suggestion
I've just done this to mine, albeit using PSS9's that were GT3 fitment.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Possibly looking to get some GT3 suspension and reading up about fitting to a C2.
Would I be right in saying that I would need the following:
GT3 front strut top mounts
Front and rear drop links - GT3 or adjustable.
GT3 rear strut top mounts.
If that's right what's the best option for top mounts as it's seems like all options are expensive?
Too right. :grin:
Best route for you Graham would have been, oh I dunno, maybe some Carrera specific, rebuilt KWs. :grin:
Carrera rear drop links are fine. It's the fronts that are different. Can't remember if either work or if you need some custom ones, combining the two.
Top mounts I haven't a clue as I've only dealt with GT3 ones on GT3s and Carrera ones on Carrera's.
Good luck though and I'm only joking above obviously, but having said that for droplinks and especially the top mounts plus the GT3 dampers etc I think you'll have spent more than on those KWs. Annoying for you but the GT3 stuff can be made to work well if in good nick and Mk1 stuff.
Mk2 stuff is that bit stiffer and I'd deffo prefer KWs or something.
Yeah I totally get that. Its does look like its not really viable within reason and getting back to the rebuilt KW level. To be honest Im still just thinking of spring and damper kit to keep it all easy.
I've just done this to mine, albeit using PSS9's that were GT3 fitment.
On the rear the standard strut top mounts are fine, I used existing as they were fine, you need a different drop link though as the C2 is of no use.

Ah there you are then. Good info Drew. :thumb:
I thought as I wrote it did I have which drop links you can use, the right way around. :?
I'd thought the rears worked as long as you didn't try and go for the extreme settings on the GT3 anti-roll bars eg the outer hole,, but I must be remembering it incorrectly.
Ive done this.
You can use the Carrera top mounts front and rear, you will need the top spring perch from for the GT3 springs both front and rear.
The front ARB droplink you can use either the GT3 or Carrera setup, Carrera droplinks are 1/20 the price of GT3 though and you would still need to buy a pinch bolt to clamp the strut on the Front.
The rear you will have to fit a GT3 ARB droplink. Cheapest is to go aftermarket, or FVD OE spec.
That's good to know. So your saying item 7 and 6 in the diagrams below are needed?

and
https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod...hock-Absorber-Spring-Hanger-Rear-99633352992/
regards the pinch bolt on the front do you mean for the ARB drop link bolt?
How was it compared to your standard set up? Im on M030.
Yes that's it.
I ran the GT3 topmounts on the front of mine, but there should be no reason why the standard Carrera ones won't work. You mine need to source a top nut for the strut.
They were very stiff. I got mine very cheap, but would suggest a proper set of C2 coil overs is a better fit. The GT3 is heavier than a C2 and they are sprung for that, makes them very stiff on the lighter car. It's fine for a proper blast, but could be tiresome if you daily the car.
