Forged Performance - Porsche 996 GT3 Project

Because of the weak US Dollar, most of the Japanese companies took their prices up on Jan 1, which is Why I was hedging. With the new increase, we sell them for $1950 including shipping.

I havent sampled the Guard unit yet. The guard unit is a rebuilt and modified OEM LSD, whereas the OSG is a completely new case and internals. The OSG has more plates, and a very smooth 100% lock. I know many people are using the Guard and are very happy with it.

1000lbs front and rear, interesting. I assume you dial in a pretty good amount of front camber to rid understeer? From the video (great hands BTW), seems fairly neutral.
Just trying to gain some knowledge on track setup for GT3's.

Just caught this post. Great read. How would you compare the GT3 experience to your GTR now that you have gone some way down developing the GT3 Sharif?
I own a 997 mk1 RS and an Evo (both used heavily for the track) and am toying with the idea of either spending bucks modifying the RS (its bone stock save for Hoosier R6s and 18 inch OZ Superallegerita when at the track) with suspension/diff etc or changing out the Evo for a GTR and would be interested in your views on the drive experience of the two cars.

I hear you on that. And I thought the 102db limit was draconian over on the east coast.

No more rubber bushings!
Hey guys,
There is finally an update on the Forged Performance GT3. We will be ridding the GT3 of all the sloppy rubber bushings and replacing them with nice, beefy heim/monoball style bushings! We will be using new rear upper control arm links, tension links, and all replaceable bushings on the front and rear control arms. A big thanks goes out to the guys at Tarett Engineering for getting these out to us. These products are of top notch quality for sure, and we are just itching to get them put on and get out to the track!
More updates to follow after installation guys! Stay tuned!
Thanks for looking,
Zach
