Porsche 996 TT Repair Manual page 1879

The 911 GT2 is equipped as standard with the new Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The brake
calipers, 6−piston on the front axle and 4−piston on the rear axle, are painted yellow.
The running gear of the 911 GT2 has been designed for an extremely sporty driving behaviour and superior
handling properties. Basically, the running gear of the 911 GT3 (996) has been taken over and adapted to the
specific new requirements (vehicle weight and driving performance).
Moreover, the GT2 is subject to special demands due to the possibility of its use for racing purposes.
These include:
• Lowering of the vehicle's centre of gravity with co−ordinated adjustment of the kinematics
Adjustable stabilizers
•
• Extension of the adjustment range of the axle geometry for racing purposes and the related specific
requirements (e.g. camber)
• Reinforcement of relevant components (e.g. wheel carrier and front wheel bearing) for possible use of
racing tyres (on the racing track)
Optimisation of wheel guides (especially rear axle).
•
Note
• The 911 GT2 is delivered with a running−gear setting co−ordinated with the tyres approved by
Porsche!
• If these setting values are changed in a manner only permissible for use on racing tracks, it is essential
that the standard settings are reset before the vehicle is driven on public roads!
• Attention: The adjustable spoiler (additional wing) is set to the lowest (horizontal) position for street
use!
• Changes to the setting
The spoiler wing must be moved to the lowest position for use on public roads!
