my new KW3's installed will most of the goodies
can you blow up my signature pic.. that was taken on saturday.. as far as before, that would be the look of any stock tt. about two inches of space between the tires and the wheel wall.. if not, PM me your # and i'll text it to you.
I did just the sways so far due to funds and also because I wanted to see the difference they made before going with a full suspension change, and my stock parts were still working fine. They made HUGE difference versus the stock setup, both on the street and the track. I ran the same lap times as a 997 GT3RS that was highly modded and driven by an excellent driver at the last track days I did. It was definitely a tiny bit better through the corners but not much.
I have the Eibach sways set to soft front and middle rear. The car no longer has any understeer and tends slightly towards oversteer. It also feels much more solid in every situation, and doesn't just benefit from reduced body roll. Since the sways are such an easy and inexpensive change, I'd highly recommend anyone that hasn't done springs/struts/coilovers yet do them first and drive the car for a while before dropping a few grand on the other parts.

finely took the car out today for a good ride. filled up twice... went to the mountains, towards the snow where the road was moist and ended up at home in the dry mountains close to the beach.. didn't push it all the way, in the slick mountains, but did drive it hard.. by the time i got back home to the dry part of town, i was on it.. i never even herd the tires, not once. this thing is SO much fun to drive now.. not that is wasn't before, but now its solid! its sticks like glue to the road. no bounce what-so-ever. it stays with the turn and makes the corners feel like a roller coaster when i feel safe to hit the turbos hard while exiting the turn... with the stock set up it always felt like the car was trying to recover exiting the turns; because it was, not wit this set up. feels like a GT-3 with 600 crank HP.
.... truly amazing worth every $

is it wrong to feel spoiled from the beginning? when i bought my car it came with a full gmg adjustable suspension (front and rear), gmg sways and jrz coilovers! the car has always felt like it was nailed to the ground!
the biggest difference i made to the way the car drives was to ditch the 19" rims and rubber band tires for some pirelli gt2 fitment rubber and 18" gt2 fitment wheels. transformed the car
