can we still run the stock ride height when we install this kit?
Bilstein have a recommended drop range of 15-35mm.

Wow, Can...this is really useful. I can't believe the spring rates on the 996TT...if this is true for the 997TT, I shudder to think what they are for the H&Rs that many people have installed.

The official Bilstein recommendation is that ride heights be reduced 10-30 mm front, and 5-25mm rear. It's interesting that they do NOT recommend stock ride heights.

The difference between the Clubsport and non-Clubsport is that the Clubsport is the suspension system concentrated to the fast-road or track day user, where as the non Clubsport is more for the comfort handling. Going for these suspension systems, we would only suggest the Clubsport version

cannga, I know the drop is recommended, but I told about poor road conditions, even on highways on here. I can even barely go in to my garage without hitting the front Anyway, I ordered the set from Dan today, it will be with me next week. But still couldn't decide about the drop. In my personal opinion, I would drop it 35mm (max recommended drop I guess). We'll see when it arrives

GMG are suggesting set the rear bar at full stiff and the front soft. Anyone tried this?

My next mod for the suspension will be the sways from H&R. with a medium/medium setting. I will use OEM drop links unless someone can honestly say the Tarrets are a no brainer. CANN - maybe I missed it but did you install any dog-bones?

Fine - twist my arm Thank you for the info on the OEM and GMG's.
So would you recommend the Toe/Dog-Bones or would that be overkill for a street car?
I like handling over HP at the moment as the Turbo has more than enough for me currently.

CANN - great info you have posted since you installed these.
I just raised my car up 15mm and the drop seems to look more like your drop. I had the car dropped pretty low and I was probably right at the edge of the bump stops but never hit them even on large dips on the highway at speeds. I liked the look of the low drop but I didn't like the handling. All things being equal - i just had my guy raise it 12mm in the front and 15mm in the back. My guy loaded the same specs on the alignment I had previously and then corner weighted/balanced everything to 50%. I must say that unplanted feel and the hops I was getting around sharp transitional corners is completely gone. I thought the coilover was too low to effectively damper or rebound quickly(not being techy here just saying what I felt or know.

When I had the drop links (Tarett, Bilstein, and the stock) all side by side before the Tarett's were installed there did not seem to be any geometrical difference between them other than build quality. Had my installer not recommended the Tarett's they probably would not have been installed. I'd be hard pressed to tell anyone how I could "feel" the difference between the three different links. It would have to be very esoteric at best. However as I said before the Tarett's are worth the money because they are definitely more robust than the other two links. They are also more esthetically pleasing for those who are crawling around under their cars.
