Default GT4 suspension

So before I sell all my 987 suspension parts, I wanted to know what I can save for my GT4. So far I know the GT4 has adjustable sway bars and LCAs. Can anyone tell me if the Tarett drop links front and rear would be a good upgrade? How do the drop links look on the GT4? Also I have front tie rod/bump steer and the rear tow link/ bump steer arms. Would they even fit? TIA

Check Taretts's web site for part numbers, 981 vs. 987....

Most people don't realize you only really need one adjustable drop link per Axel . I know everybody uses two but one works just as well. carl

I was wondering why they were always sold in pairs for a single axle, with the links not being interchangeable between axles, rather than as a pair of single front and a single rear....

Thanks Dan,

Anyone know about the rear bump steer? I believe the front ones fit...

If you have our front links on a 987, you would only need to change to our longer center section to work on the GT4. The rear links would be the same.

The front bumpsteer tie rods would also be the same.

Thanks Ira,

I'm assuming the rear bump steer/tow link is completely different since your website has a different part number? Thanks
