Thanks. I don't run the splitter on the street (got tired of replacing them)...and I'm actually back up to 110mm in the front now.

I just got my 4GT3 after extensive modifications to my suspension. I can't wait to try it out at Summit at the end of the month.
Modifications include:
PMS RS rear control arms
Eibach 2.25" Springs front and rear
Revalved Bilstein shocks
Custom top spring hats front and rear
TRG rear mono ball mounts
Previous modifications include:
Rear toe-links and solid engine mounts
2007 GT3 shift linkage
Fabspeed mufflers and cat bypass pipes
Work was done by Bill Rudtner of Rudtner's Racing Group in Freeport NY

Dan Jacobs did a similar set up for me at the beginning of last year. Think I probably told you. Night and day coming out of big bend, left hander, uphill, downhill, heck every turn on every track. You won't believe how much more fun the car is. It will now be the way it was supposed to leave the factory.
BTW, the only thing you've done that I haven't is the motor mounts. When you put them in, how did the car improve? WEVO's, I assume?

I am highly considering a stock Revalve for my 996GT3. I have heard better street and better on track performance for the Revalve. Anyone have a general idea of the cost and the results. At this point I am not looking for motons.
I purchased TRG rear toe links, TRG motor mounts and an OEM RS Wing. I am looking forward to trying what should be a different and hopefully better driving car.

Bang for the buck the best thing you can do! A revalve is something like $75 a shock and new springs are about $80 a spring. Just make sure budget a bit for monoball rear shock mounts and if you can replace any of the rubber with solid mounts. Moton's are great but at almost 5K for a set up double adjustable clubsports, if it is not in the budget a revalve is the way to go. That is what I was "going" to do and then I decided to do a complete suspension overhaul.

Call the Dan Jacob's Garage, in CT. He was one of the first to do the revalves, and can recommend the valving and spring rates that work for you and how you use your car. He also sends them to Bilstein so your car will be up for a week or 2. Let him know you have the rear monoballs also, so you can get the spring hats for 2.25" inch Eibachs.
I think you already know Dan?

Everyone in the Northeast should at least, know Dan. If I lived in Connecticut, he would be the man to go to if you own a GT3.
Austin: My toe-links and engine mounts came from TRG.
