Those are the Cross Competition Suspension, actually. They are getting installed, but they also have to be corner balanced and aligned.

**vtecRULES** · 08-10-2005, 11:42 AM

YES SIR!

**RandomGuy** · 08-10-2005, 11:43 AM

OOOO SHIT BRANDON!! he called you a boxter driver.... I dont even have your car and that offends me... this could get dirty

**.....** · 08-10-2005, 11:43 AM

yeah back on topic i have only heard one bad thing about these from a N.A.S.A h1 driver in cali.. he blamed his coilovers for a 1.5 second increase in his times at buttonwillow..but too many other variables are there to make a sound decision that it was the coilovers

Perhaps he didn't tune them for shit? That plays a large part. They were used by the winning car in the European Magazine Porsche Tuner shootout 2 yrs ago.

Then again, they are they Cross Competition Suspension. What version were you talking about?

**james** · 08-10-2005, 11:45 AM

hey ruiner...is that a complete kit? did you buy it new? keep me posted on the install! cant wait to see pics! see you around buddy!

1. Complete kit all the way around.
2. Bought it new.
3. Will do.

**RandomGuy** · 08-10-2005, 11:47 AM

not to be rude or anything... but how much did they set you back (ballpark)

**vtecRULES** · 08-10-2005, 11:49 AM

mine were 110 bucks for universal fits, so im guessing since his are more shiney and painted, no more than 350 bucks. its just your run of the mill cheapo jic kit

You aren't rude...anything for my car is going to be pricey. It's a 6-figure car, so they jack up everything on you. It costs ~$2200 to chip it while it only runs $500 for the Audi/VW. Go figure.

A fair chunk of change. I'd rather not discuss cost + install, but you can go to the JIC site and get a good idea on cost. Cross Competition Suspension for a 996 turbo. Install is about 2hrs labor per wheel + alignment + corner balancing.

Money brings out the worst in people at times, especially on this site.

true true... but his are obviously JDM so that means +30 HP man... duh, therefore they're at least 360 bux.

man I envy you, I was thinking about going with tein coilovers myself.. its just hard to justify the $2000 price tag. This may be a dumb question but are you expecting a HUGE difference? I know you wouldn't be getting them if you didnt feel it was worth it but I just have to know. I like the idea of being able to adjust the height as well if need be. Nice ride! And please post your impressions when everything is installed.

I can adjust the height and rebound. The rebound is 15-way adjustable. The height will require more work as I have to get it re-aligned and whatnot. Yes, I am expecting a rather large difference. Granted, the 911 turbo has a suspension that is greater than 99% of the cars on the road, but it is STILL somewhat tame so as to appeal to an "older" crowd of sorts. It sits up too high for my needs and while it may actually "ride on rails", I want it to ride even more so. Plus, I will be able to dial in an 8 in the rear setting and a 5 in the front so that I can correct the understear and push it to more of a neutral stance.

you'll also be able to play with the preload/sag which can also be used to get rid of the understeer once it's all getting dialed in.
