Nice looking headers. I'm sure 200 cell cats and long tube design do wonders for power and torque. Unfortunately given inherent weaknesses in GT3 motor I'll be waiting until car goes out of warranty to avoid issues with CEL's and voiding warranty by going with aftermarket headers.
Awesome build. Sorry for the stupid question but can you explain to me what the differences between the types of roll cages: LMS, RSR, & WC cage?
thanks.
Not a problem, fo the 991 we have LMS and RSR only. The LMS is a bit more structural where the RSR allows for access tot he rear of the car. The LMS ties the rear strut towers and rear bulkhead together where the RSR uses the front seat belt fasteners and rear strut towers. Here is a clear photo illustration:

If you are looking for maximum seat clearance, I would recommend the LMS Bar.

The Sparco SPX w/ GMG seat bases are 7 pounds heavier that the LWB's. So if you wanted to remove and preserve the LWB's then you'd only be adding 14 pounds total.
Here is another new product that we've implemented on Jame's RS.
This is an easy add-on that helps to make for a clean Schroth harness installation on our LMS or RSR Roll/Harness Bar. Rather than resort to zip-ties, or simply let the excess length of strap dangle down, we have made these great little Billet Harness Straps. They are in stock now, and will be listed shortly.
Reviving an old thread... I have a 991.2 GT3 on order and found the LWBs to be uncomfortable on track with a helmet on so I am looking at other options. Does installing the Sparco seats set off an airbag alarm and if so have you found a solution?

We have installed several of the Sparco carbon seats and they have worked out great but you cannot override the airbag alarm no should you, as it's a reminder that you do not have air bag capabilities from the factory seats. I have been driving my RS around with the airbag light on for the past year and it has not been an issue for me.....especially with the massive advantage of the reclinable Sparco seat with pass through harness capability.
