Tell me about it - the shop is loving me! 997 GT3 - what I was trying to turn the 997S into.

I was just in Germany and saw a bunch of GT3's at the Nuerburgring. I really want one as well, but I don't see it happening soon.

Ron, I just ordered a 2009 so I am waiting to see if any suspension changes were made for the PASM Sport lowered suspension. If not I would love to have those GT3 arms!

Mike, I hope it works out the way you want. It's my feeling, however, that because of the Fed, maybe they won't be able to offer that feature here in the US, just like they couldn't offer the -20mm Sport suspension. Not that they didn't want to, but as I understand because the car wouldn't meet some sort of "car vs. pedestrian" height requirement.

Um, didn't you just get the Softronics flash??
And, now you're going to get an '09??

On non-GT3 997 platforms you can only get about 8/10 of one degree of camber up front. That's why the steering is somewhat numb, you get massive understeer, etc. With the control arms, you can adjust the camber quite a bit - as much as you need / want. I have -2.3 degrees right now which is a great Track / Street combination.

Mr. B
Yes I did, I'm moving the Softronic from the 2007 C2S to the 2007 GT3.

** PM's and emails for headers and cats sent...

**** Almost forgot - also have 2 sets of track pads, slightly used. PFC 97s and Pagid Yellow 29 / Black. Both work wonderfully.

Thanks for all the contacts - Forgot to mention I have 2 barely used sets of Track Pads too: PFC 97s and Pagid Yellow 29 front / Black rear. Many suggested the mix of Yellow / Black to shift some bias to the back - worked like a charm.

Looks like headers & cats are under agreement, same with control arms. Will let everyone know if something falls through.

Damptronics and a set of Pagid Yellow 29 / Black and PFC 97s (both barely used) are left. Make an offer...
