Ohlins Road & Track Coilover – 2002-2004 Porsche 911 (996) GT2/GT3

Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers – 2002-2004 Porsche 911 (996) GT2 / GT3

Race-Spec Suspension for Porsche’s Most Focused 911s
The Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers for the Porsche 996 GT2 and GT3 are engineered for the most track-focused 911s of their generation. The GT3 was built to homologate Porsche’s racing program and arrived with a naturally aspirated Mezger engine, a motorsport-derived suspension, and no rear seats. The GT2 took the twin-turbocharged approach to an extreme that even the all-wheel-drive Turbo did not attempt, making it one of the most demanding rear-wheel-drive performance cars of its era. Ohlins’ DFV technology and monotube architecture are the right suspension upgrade for cars built to this standard.

DFV Technology for the Extreme 996
The GT2 and GT3 variants of the 996 were engineered for track use from the factory, which means the suspension upgrade bar is set exceptionally high. Ohlins’ Dual Flow Valve technology meets it by ensuring the damper responds consistently in both compression and rebound — critical on a car where the rear-engine weight distribution and high power outputs demand precise chassis control at all times. The GT3’s motorsport-derived suspension geometry benefits particularly from DFV’s consistent behavior during the hard direction changes and corner entries that define the GT3 driving experience. Independent damping and height adjustment at all four corners allow the kind of precise setup that these cars were designed to accommodate.

Setup Depth That Matches the Cars’ Capability
Height adjustment and damping adjustment are independent at each corner, allowing precise tuning of ride height and shock response without compromise. Spring preload and bleed adjustment add further depth for drivers setting up the car for track events or endurance racing. The 20+ click damping adjuster covers from a refined road setting to a firm track configuration, and the system is compatible with the GT2/GT3’s original top mounts for a clean installation.

Quality That Reflects the Car’s Pedigree
The system uses aluminum shock bodies for weight reduction and heat management, and the rebuildable design allows long-term serviceability through the Ohlins dealer network. ISO 9227 corrosion testing ensures durability. The GT2 and GT3 are increasingly collectible and valuable platforms, and Ohlins builds the Road & Track system to a standard that matches their long-term ownership requirements. All hardware, dustcovers, and adjustment tools are included.

Why Choose Ohlins

Ohlins has been engineering suspension systems for motorsport at the highest levels since 1976, supplying teams in MotoGP, Formula 1, and World Rally Championship. That racing heritage is not just marketing — it is reflected in the materials, tolerances, and engineering decisions that go into every Road & Track unit. The DFV technology, the rebuildable monotube architecture, and the corrosion testing standards are all direct products of Ohlins’ competition experience applied to street and track use. When you put Ohlins under your car, you are getting a product validated under conditions far more demanding than anything most owners will ever encounter.

The RallySport Take

The 996 GT2 and GT3 are cars that demand a suspension upgrade at the highest level, and the Ohlins Road & Track system delivers it. DFV technology and independent corner adjustability give you genuine tools to tune the chassis of some of Porsche’s most focused 911 variants, and the setup depth supports everything from fast road use to serious track work. If you own a GT2 or GT3 and you are ready to take the suspension as seriously as the rest of the car, this is the system we would specify.
