08 Turbo GMG World Challenge upgrade- PICS

Just completed for a customer our Stage 1 World Challenge spec 997TT.

Upgrades includes

GMG WC Sport Lowering spring set
GMG WC Sport sway bar set
GMG RSR Roll bar
GIAC software with 3 programs
Sport Exhaust
GMG WC-GT Mono 19 Forged wheels 19x9 and 19x12
MSPCUP 235/35/19 and 305/30/19


This is a daily driver and our customer wanted something that was powerful, handled well and didnt sacrifice ride quality.

Wheels are matched to the rollbar for a nice touch..

Very nice car but why a roll bar in a daily driver? Also with the 9" & 12" wheels why not slightly wider tires? No digs, just curious.

Because this car will see some local track time. 305's are just fine at 19 inches.

SpoolnV8 is infamous around these parts
Roll Bars def look sexy in these cars, Is there a real benefit considering it is a coupe? and not a Cab.

This client is starting to enjoy his car and is planning to do some weekend track events.

So he decided to go with the rollbar- (safety first) A real nice feature of our RSR bar is that you can move both seats all the way back- unlike other bars that are on the market which do not allow that.


In regards to the tires:

The MSPCUP in 235 is designed for 8-9" wheel and the 305 has a 12" footprint- This is standard set up on the Gt3 and Rs so we know it works

I am suprised he didn't have the rear seats removed for weight savings, now that the roll bar makes them superfluous.
