Öhlins DFV Road & Track Coilovers for 997 Porsche 911 GT2 / GT3 / GT3 RS

The Öhlins Road & Track coilover kit for the Porsche 911 (997) GT2, GT3, and GT3 RS brings genuine racing capability to your car without costing you the comfort you need every other day of the week. This kit suits drivers who want both; it is as popular with manufacturers building dedicated track day machines as it is with aftermarket buyers pushing chassis performance beyond the factory setup. Available as a full suspension kit or as individual shock absorbers and struts, depending on your application.

One Knob, Two Modes; How DFV Technology Works

• Öhlins’ Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology is what separates this kit from a conventional coilover. A single adjuster handles both compression and rebound damping at each corner. Turn it clockwise at the track entrance and you change all four damping areas at once: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Head home and dial it back to road mode for a more relaxed, comfortable ride that still delivers more grip and quicker response than the factory setup ever could.

What It Does on Track and on the Road

• On track, the Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for the Porsche 911 (997) GT models produce noticeably faster response times, better bump absorption, and a significant increase in traction at the limit. The internal DFV components respond quickly to both minor surface imperfections and larger impacts, keeping the car planted and the tires working. The result is a 911 that is easier to balance at the edge of grip, more agile through corners, and more predictable when you are pushing hard. On the road, that same hardware delivers a refined, controlled ride that puts the factory suspension to shame.
