Ya i was wondering that as well. I talked with Rob King, who is a long time friend of Cary, and he said he's been trying to get a hold of him for a while now. I'm still waiting on their toe links.

Ira at Tarrett can supply the toe links (was planning to buy from him as he's been helping me).

I'm just a bit concerned about getting the bumpsteer adjustment done. Not convinced many places in the UK would know how to do it properly.

Bump Steer adjustable are :

http://www.tarett.com/items/996-997-...bmp-detail.htm

(392 USD - these are ERP parts. The non bumpsteer adjustable are their own I believe).

Could be wrong, but I think that is $392 for one and you need to order two, so $784?? Anybody know for sure?

I was told by TC Designs that unless I lower my car more than 1", no need for the bump steer adjustment. I don't plan to lower the car that much, so had them install the ones w/out BS adjustment. Based on the last two track events, it has been a big improvement in stability.

I used 15mm spacers front and rear, it's was a huge change for me, don't think my car is a full inch lower but it may be close. Even when it was stock going down the Mosport straight at high speeds over 200k I was alwlays chasing it to go straight.

A standard GT3 has bumpsteer even out the factory as the kinematics were designed around a higher ride height. Unless US GT3s ride like c2s?

My concern is getting the bumpsteer adjusted right. Ira mentions it can be time consuming and it sounds pretty specialist.

p.s. GT3'er you are right. You need 2.

O, so is the set that Tarett sells $450 for the set? I was a little confused as to why the bumpsteer set was cheap, but that makes sense now.

I sent Cary an email asking him to provide a way to contact him, he's a friend of mine too. He's pretty good about replying usually, but remember he's a race mechanic too so he travels a lot.

Thanks Austin! Let me know when you hear from him. I've got two others trying to get a hold of him.
