Fast Bits for "new to me" 997.1 GT3 RS

Hey all... finally get to post on a real forum (former C2S, C4S). So I now have in my possession a well optioned/PCCB 2008 GT3RS in Grand Prix White. I do several DE/coaching days/year... I appreciate decent looks and the car will be used on the street on weekends (keeping interior intact). However, I'm more interested in go-fast bits that offer great bang for the buck. Your thoughts?

As I have been reminded on several occasions... "that's a nice shade of brown/purple on you callipers..." I found a great deal on a ST Trophy kit, and I've already got Cup car rear toe links. I know I need to pin/weld the coolant lines, and I'm doing the GT diff internals. I've also already got my current GT2 seats. I'm thinking new Bilstein Clubsport (or modified MDS) for suspension as I'm not sure I'll be tweaking the suspension that much between tracks, etc.

So, any cool bits people want to recommend or pass down for a good deal?.

OEM Clubsport Bar?
Cup Car Bits?
Set of light 18" wheels that'll fit over my ST Kit?

Trollinger is infamous around these parts
Congratulations on the new ride. Supposedly there are 5 2008 RSs in white, I have one meaning there are 3 other guys out there with a twin car. I have slowly modified mine over the past 3 years and ended up going down a path nearly identical to Sharky's write-up. Have also purchased a lot of parts from Alex over the years and he is top notch. Knows his stuff and will put you in the right direction. PM me if you want to swap phone numbers.

According to that registry(Who knows how accurate) you have a rare bird.. Seems there are only 14 in 2007 also. Only 22 of us with .1 RS's in the US.

Obviously the .1RS is the best looking car out there

Welcome to the 2 dozen club.
