Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone here have any knowledge about these coil overs?  Seem very cheap compared with others. https://pbbrakes.com/porsche-911-996-2wd-coilover-suspension-kit.html

POST 2Original post

Have a chat with FlamingPorsche who put some Gecko's is his old Boxster.  Similar sort of price when converted to A$ I think

Check out BC Racing. I have them in my 997 and am very happy with them. Car is my daily with regular SMT driving and the odd track day. $1,300. Aus distributor is JustJap. Get the base model that reuse your factory uppers on the fronts to avoid unwanted noise as advised by BC Racing.

POST 4Original post

Was just searching through forum recently trying find some suspension info/options. Most of what I found was for PASM spec upgrades. Would like to lower mine a bit, but not make it too harsh.

My car has GT3 suspension with Bilstein's.  The PSS10 replacements are close to $4000 to purchase, then fitting on top.  As it is a DD, and so far no track work, I just want something reasonable for street use.  The car is at GT3 height now so need something compatible to the current set up.  Will have a look at the BC racing gear.  Thanks.

@PhilH I went searching for this thread on @LeeM ’s advice: Based on this post: I take it you stuck with the Bilsteins in the end, and they’re matched to springs from a GT3?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HI, Yep, the car had GT3 suspension when I bought it and 2 of the coilovers had slight leaks and car had a horrible thump whenever I went over a bump. I looked around at what options I could go for including taking it back to stock, however after much searching I had the Bilsteins that were on the car sent to Bilstein in SYD to be refurbished - at $750 a pair it was a LOT cheaper than replacing them with anything else.  Car now drives like new. I have never had it on the track and do not plan too so the I had the coilovers set to the softest setting possible and I find them pretty good around town and great on a spitrited drive the=rough the hills - could not be happier.
