Default Would A Front Strut Brace For A 997 Fit The 987?

No companies make anything yet for the 987 but many make them for the 997. I would if they are interchangeable. Thanks

I guess I missed one. Or three! Oops. I can't believe I missed them. The Racing Dynamics one is pretty cheap at 292$ A pretty good mod that I know from experience makes a big difference in the rigidity of the convertible vehicle. I am all over that one. If you know of any other good aftermarket information for the 987S please let me know. So far I have already put in the GIAC chip, 19 Inch Carrera S rims in Chrome and will soon be taking out the god awful BOSE system for an aftermarket double din unit with nav.
I already dynoed my car and came back with three runs of 240hp at the wheels on a 4wheel dynojet. I will be Dynoing the car with the GIAC and with an intake when I get ahold of one and finally the exaust/headers.
Any solid information on products that DEFINITELY INCREASE POWER I am interested.

Actually, 2 of them are the same product from different vendors so he was correct

Cameron- my mods to date have been aesthetic and handling oriented. I'd be very interested to hear your results with the GIAC chip--a mod I might consider if it delivers any real world HP/torque.

Your 240 at the wheels translates into 276 to 288 hp at the crank, so that sounds about right.
