Seriously?

Hats off to Champion if they come to market with a well researched and tested Ohlins solution.

Stay tuned.

There will be specific applications for GT3/RS's and turbos. They are working to achieve precise valving specs / requirements. There's one certain very smart guy leading the R&D. From my conversations this will reset the standard for coilovers.
Still will be a fews months away. Of course as with quality, it will be pricey.

I put a Guard 40/60 LSD in my 997S and it was great. When I switched to GT3 the OEM LSD was terrible in comparison. Fortunately having Guard rebuild the GT3 LSD with their parts is a lot cheaper (about 50%) than having to buy the whole LSD like you do for a 997S.

I went with 50/80 for the GT3 rebuild and would do it again - great on track and I don't really notice any difference on street compared to the 40/60.

Matt rec'd my LSD unit, rebuilt it and shipped it back to the shop I used the same day - great service and product. Matt also tested my stock LSD before rebuilding it and said it had "0 function" - the car had 8000 miles with just a few track days and the stock LSD was shot! There are some good threads on this here and on Rennlist if you search.
