Upgrade time! I just dropped off my car for some suspension and brake upgrades. Can't wait for it to be done!

I also upgraded to the AP racing brakes - pad changes are a breeze now and the weight savings over steel brakes is nice!

Welp, found some unexpected front subframe damage. It looks like something was run over and busted a tab and scuffed up the front subframe. So that's getting replaced now too. Unfortunately that delays things by a couple days but I would rather wait and have that fixed vs taking any shortcuts. Things should start going back together next week!




Decided to do some cleaning while we were in there. There was a very noticeable difference!


Right Front Before


Right Front After


Right Rear Before


Right Rear After


Oooooooo



New bearings are going in soon!




Something is missing....

More updates when things go back together!

I had NO intention to hijack your build thread which I had been following since 1-12-2022 or offend you.
Why, I did post the sale ad?, in case some one would like to upgrade their GT3 suspension with monoballs.
I usually follow this forum on a daily basis, but not the Marketplace ( probably one or twice per month ) and like me many other do.
NO problem with me that the administrator of this forum DELETE the ad post.

Thanks for being very Stand Up with your response! I was not offended, just bothered as things can get off track pretty quickly in threads. I appreciate your intention to help others!

I like the 996GT3 in your picture also. I may see you at the track if you are going this weekend.
