Track aligment for a 997S?
Don't worry about new suspension parts yet. Entering your 2nd year you'll be fine with the following (it got me 1:02s at Lime Rock):
Better brake fluid (I use SRF) and pads (try the Sport Pads, which are 4-2-1, which you can leave on for the street).
GT3 Cup control arms for negative camber. I had about -2.3 degrees up front which was a great combined Street / DE setting. Much crisper steering, less understeer, better tire wear. Total was about $1300 parts and labor including a great alignment.
Eventually, DE wheels and tires.
When you get an alignment, make sure it's from a respected Porsche race preparation shop. They tend to know the best settings for these cars.
That will be plenty for you until you are in the top run group. Eventually, you'll be wanting more, like those trick sways that Sharky sells.
