can any actual users comment on Rear solid Monoballs and Rear Thrust Arm Bushings???.
- too harsh for street
- can you feel the difference on the track
- do these parts create too much noise
- i have experience with metal joint dog bones on other cars and know they rattle - so this is not for me
thanks

2: ABSOLUTELY!!! If... you can use the car to it's potential. I could drive at 9/10 with no drama with the stock suspension, but at 10/10 the rubber deflects and you get unexplainied 360s
3: nah,I have no rubber in the suspension and i have the dog bones too, no big deal, rattles more but i have 800lb springs too.

Not harsh for street, zero noise if you use quality parts. The car gives even better feedback on the steering. Alignment stays put longer.
My lap times dropped more by converting the 996 GT3 to full monoballs/metal bushings, than when I switched from the stock suspension to Moton.
A must for any GT2/GT3 in my opinion. I have a box with all these parts that were going in my GT3 RS.
The 996/997 GT3 has metal subframe bushings, the Carrera/Boxster/Turbo use rubber bushing attaching the subframe to the car body.
Close to $5,000 for a full kit + lots of labor. Not a cheap upgrade.

Ditto to above no downside at all!!

I went with 993 or 964 RS motormounts. After you do all the monoball stuff you'll find theat the rear will twitch and you'll have trouble finding third at high lateral load.
Worth doing IMHO. Although some won't agree.

Car became damn solid, but again now very sensitive to alignment and toe, and twitchy :/
Getting fully redone by a Porsche mastermind so we will see, perhaps it was just the toe settings that are making the car feel terribly unstable, but even so the car is solid as hell and where I had a unsettling feeling at VIR going through the uphill esses it was gone this go around...

toe will do that.
My car was F-ed up by one shop, so i brought to the chief mechanic of a pro race team, he ripped out every nut and bolt, sent the motons for a rebuild, and put it back together and it's a dream.
Until...I flew over a berm and bent the thrust arm on the landing. Now I involuntarily have like nearly 4 deg of camber. Need new parts again. I need to remember this is not a race car.
