+1. At 13k (mostly track miles), my LSD is shot... "Upgraded" rear toe-links are a must as the rear tends to get out of alignment with factory links, and check the corner balancing and alignment. I went aggresive with front camber (greater than -3 degrees, and had to rotate the shock towers to do so...) The turn in now is "so choice"!

Also check those coolant lines (might want to replace all rubber as a precaution). Many of us run watter wetter to prevent spins.

Other than that - you are good to go. Congrats on the purchase. The GT3 is the best car that I have owned.

The car was dealer serviced with the 2 previous owners. I had the LSD checked during the PPI and everything checked out. No aftermarket parts have been put on the car.

What do the aftermarket toelinks do for the car? The alignment was performed at 14k. Should I get it adjusted again with different settings? If so what settings do you guys recommend?

Aftermarket toe links can have a locking plate which will help in preventing toe changes in the alignment. Not necessary unless you plan to track the car and probably not until you start getting into more than a few events a year. Same with your current alignment.

If you decide to track more then get ready for a slippery slope.....er addiction

Cool

You will not regret your purchase. I have had mine for two years, same color, and every time i hear it turn over, it is love all over again. Enjoy!
