I can't give you statistical before and after data, but I have had no problems since converting to RWD. I've put up some good times and I do not have traction issues. The weight savings is a big plus too.

So whats the safest way to do the conversion? Do I have to purchase any type sway bars, do an alignment? What should the cost be around?
Thanks
Hey Vince,
There are no special parts to buy at all. As far as alignment goes, I realigned and corner balanced when I added the PSS10's, GT3 sway bars and drop links. I'm not sure if you HAVE to realigned just because of the RWD conversion.

Cost just for the RWD conversion should only be related to a couple hours of labor.

Reason: spelling
I want to say the parts weight about 75lbs or so. Haven't tried drifting yet..

What about TX2K9 on the road course when you were murdering your tranny?
oh yea! The TIP is NOT a road course car. But I will enter that event next time.

how much weight did you save? Is it easy to drift the car?
You absoltely do NOT want to drift a 996TT/GT2....w/ the rear engine and overall physics of the car you will break axels.
On the other hand my M3 is the PERFECT drift car (only drifted her by accident when coming through a corner hard.....she just held the slide flawlessly until I straightened out).

Was it still raining or did it just stop?
