AA996TT

I have an 03 X50 with 89k miles. I'm buying a set of H&R Clubsport RSS coilovers from a guy who sold his 996TT. I'm also getting TPC sway bars front and rear from him. He also has a set of GT3 control arms. Are they worth getting? Any other items I should consider while I'm at it? I know our cars have a lot of rubber. Which mounts should I replace?

nows the time to do them if you ever will. If you can get them for a good deal, I would (and did).

I just replaced the JIC coilovers in my car with PSS10s and I put GT3 LCAs in the front with toe links from a cup car in the rear.

Who knows how much of an incremental improvement those two provide but if you have a good place to get your alignment done then you'll have more ranges to use, and you'll get rid of some rubber too.

The fancy parts sure arnt cheap tho!!!

as i mentioned in your "other" thread. all rubber suspension bits, and even the motor mounts, trans mount ( 997 ) and the top mounts also, if not going pillow ball. i'd be dubious about installing "used" lca's from a gt3. if new, then by all means, yes, absolutely. gl with them!

Agree, I'd recommend new suspension components, unless you know the history of the parts and seller.

If you have monoballs and camber plates on your new suspension it is redundant, as you will have more than enough adjustment for everything but full bore road racing. If your lower control arms/ ball joints are shot, go for it. If not save your money.
