If you have access to the PCGB forum, Richard Hamilton did a good writeup on having his MY2000 Turbo suspension changed for Bilstein B6 dampers. He was very happy with the result, but be prepared to change some of the other suspension components too.

I did B6 Dampers, Adjustable Arbs, GT3 engine mounts, 7tt transmition mount, and replaced any part that looked like the bushes were delaminating.

I would give Chris at Center Gravity a call. He recently replaced some of the components on my 2003 996t and did a geo setup / ride height adjustment for fast road and I am very pleased with the result. Prices were reasonable too.

It all depends what your goal is !
Lower ? Firmer ? Adjustable ?
Usually the Bilstein PSS10 kit and the factory X73 are the most common solutions.
