TT Surgeon, can I adjust your light for you, sir?

Gas passer? Thanks for the chuckle.

All in good fun and really, no harm intended. No need to get so upset so easily.

Canp, is that an apology?
Bobby, thanx for the input.
My plan with this car include a gt2 bar, gt3 LCAs, and gt3rsr toe links and a complete Fvd 555 package....ultimately.

^^^Chris, it's a gentle reminder to take it easy and relax; it's a hobby. In a public forum, you should expect ideas and opinions to be questioned. If you can't stand the questioning, then perhaps stop posting nutty opinions on things on my car ? If you do, please expect questions and discussions.

Address the topic and curb the profanity as the moderators have reminded everyone. Such profanity doesn't befit your "status," or this forum. I am surprised you haven't got a warning from moderator yet, perhaps I should report you (kidding).

Could we move on please? Bob is going to tell us soon if I don't tell you now. Enough ink has been spilled.

Found it.

To the OP, if you are still experiencing significant understeer despite PTV, consider stiffer rear sways. You'd have to confirm the part numbers, but what was mentioned above works for the 997.1TT

+1 on all of that.

Been there done that with the BS. Don't ever want to do that again. Ever.

Just for the record, there was nothing wrong with my installation (Farnbacher-Loles), the best racing shop in the country at the time did the work. Not some tuner putting 22s on escalades.
My lap times only got better when I went back to springs. But, even with springs, the dd ride will suffer.
If you want a street able car, that handles great on the track, consider the gt2 bar and gt3 LCAs to gain negative camber. If you've ever looked at a gt2 bar, you'd know it is an exact swap on a tt, it's slightly stiffer and adjustable, that's the only difference. I've had an adjustable front bar, and I either ran them in the middle or full soft and rarely adjusted these at the track, hence my rec against.
This was the exact setup that another major racing shop recommended. Yes, with the stock springs n shocks.
Seriously, I would find a good shop and take their rec, learn how to adjust it, take free advice on line for what it is.....free. Porsche spent millions designing the 997tt, stock w street tires it ran a 7,38 ring, that's faster than just about any gt3 except the 4.0. The fact is, you don't really have to do anything to the car. Modding is fun, but not critical, more like personolization.IMO.
Of course, my comments apply to the 997.1tt.
I've tracked a bone stock 997.2 tts, trust me the car will run with a gt3 cup, it needs zero. Stock ring time 7.31, street tires. The TTS is a whole different animal.
Can and I wil just have to agree to disagree.
This I agree 100% with. There are better and simpler solutions rather than turning the 997tt.1 into an un-steetable billy cart plagued with reliability issues.
