The Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit for the Porsche 911 (996) GT2 and GT3 is a dual-purpose suspension system built around Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve technology. A single 25-click knob adjusts all four damping areas at once, making the switch between road and track straightforward. Height and damping are independently adjustable, with 10–30mm of front lowering and 5–35mm at the rear. The kit is rebuildable, TÜV approved, and backed by a 2-year warranty.

The Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit for the Porsche 911 (996) GT2 and GT3 turns the 996 platform into something truly dual-purpose, bringing the kind of chassis response and traction you’d expect from a dedicated race car without forcing you to choose between it and a livable daily commute. Built on nearly 50 years of motorsport engineering, this system closes the gap between the track and the road in a way that few suspension packages actually manage to deliver. Compatibility covers the Porsche 911 (996) GT2 and GT3 from 1999 through 2004. The kit retains the original top mounts front and rear, so fitment stays clean and hardware requirements stay simple.
How the DFV System Works
Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology is the core of what makes this kit function well across two very different environments. The DFV opens a secondary oil bypass when the damper faces sharp or severe inputs, such as track curbing or broken pavement, allowing the suspension to absorb those hits without transmitting them to the chassis. In practice, this means engineers can tune compression and rebound for the kind of planted, responsive behavior you need when braking hard and carrying corner speed, while the bypass handles the rough stuff that would otherwise unsettle a stiffer setup. Linear spring rates become workable rather than punishing, and the result is a coilover that behaves more like a motorsport system without the trade-offs that usually come with one.
Damping and Height Adjustment
Damping is adjusted via a single 25-click knob that changes all four damping areas simultaneously: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Turning the knob clockwise at the track sets the damper into race mode; turning it back before heading home loosens things up for road use. No need to touch multiple adjustment points or carry extra tools. Height adjustment is independent from damping on both axles. The front uses a separate damper length adjuster alongside a spring preload adjuster, providing approximately 10 to 30mm of lowering range. The rear matches that approach with its own separate length and preload adjusters, offering approximately 5 to 35mm of lowering range. Ride height changes do not affect your damping setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Porsche 911 996 variants does this Öhlins Road & Track coilover kit fit? This Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit is designed for the Porsche 911 (996) GT2 and GT3 from 1999 through 2004. It is not a universal 996 coilover; the kit is specific to the GT2 and GT3 platform, which uses a different front suspension geometry than the standard Carrera and Turbo variants. The kit uses the original top mounts on both axles, so no additional top mount hardware is required for fitment.
How does the single-knob DFV damping adjustment change the suspension? Turning the Öhlins DFV adjustment knob clockwise moves the damper into race mode, changing all four damping areas at once: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Turning it counterclockwise returns the damper to a softer road setting. This single-input adjustment means you do not need to address each circuit separately, and no tools are required.
Is height adjustment separate from the damping adjustment on this kit? Yes. On both the front and rear, ride height is set using a dedicated damper length adjuster and a spring preload adjuster, both of which are completely independent from the damping knob. Changing ride height does not alter your damping setting. The front offers approximately 10 to 30mm of lowering range, and the rear offers approximately 5 to 35mm.
What are the spring rates on this Öhlins coilover kit for the 996 GT2 and GT3? The front spring rate is 70N/mm, using McPherson monotube upside-down strut construction. The rear spring rate is 140N/mm, using aluminum monotube shock absorbers. These rates reflect the rear-weight characteristics of the 996 platform and are set for dual-purpose street and track use.
Are the dampers rebuildable, and what warranty does this kit carry? Yes, the Öhlins Road & Track dampers for the Porsche 911 996 GT2 and GT3 are fully rebuildable, which also allows for custom revalving to match more specific track requirements over time. The kit comes with a 2-year warranty and carries TÜV approval. All units are corrosion salt spray tested to ISO 9227.

Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked.

In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Shipping Policy
-+
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.
BP Pricing Difference
-+
We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
