This gorgeous Atlas grey 2010 997S came into us for an entire make-over including the SharkWerks & Tubi exhaust, EVOMSit tuning, RSS & TechArt suspension components, 15 inch Brembo front and 15 inch Brembo rear brakes and a set of CEC c882 light-weight wheels. We added the Werks1 Front lip and Werks1 Carbon Fiber rear diffuser. The goal was a daily driver with some regular track duty...

In she comes for surgery...


A few of the goodies waiting to be installed, including the RSS front and rear sway bar kit (50% stiffer), TechArt 20mm lowering springs and Shark Werks exhaust:


Here's the heavier stock side muffler vs the incoming lighter-weight Tubi:


The SharkWerks and Tubi exhaust installed together:


Meanwhile back in the Lab, the brain is given a 91 octane EVOMSit powered tune for more HP and better response:


The mushy rear feel from the stock neoprene bushings is combated with a set of the adjustable RSS dog bones and Toe-steer kit armed with solid monoballs.


The front springs installed (20mm lowering all the way around):


Next we install the GT3-style adjustable RSS lower control arms. The included solid thrust arms bushings and monoballs will give the suspension more precision and less slop:


For more consistent braking at the track we replaced the factory brake system with a Brembo 380mm front 6 piston set up and a rear 380mm 4 piston kit. Off with the factory calipers, pads, rotors and lines:



On go the massive fronts (also lighter than stock) with two piece slotted rotors for improved cooling/longevity at the track:


Installing the CEC 882 light-weight forged 19 inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires:


And of course the rears also finished in silver:


They fit too!


The interior got a spruce up via some high-quality MACarbon:


In goes the rear main center console and PDK ****:


And vents:


The wind-tunnel engineered Werks1 carbon fiber diffuser is also fitted to the rear:


Mind those driveways!


The front Werks1 lip also added:


Lowered, lightened, tightened, amplified and ready to go hit Laguna Seca and/or some canyons:

Those wheels are sick... how much do they weigh?

Lowered stance looks great. Wheels - FAIL!

I don't like those wheels at all.

Great job all around. Not sure the wheels are my cup of tea. Must be function over looks

Rear diffuser and wheels are a no-go for me but to each his own. I just know I would smash the diffuser on my driveway - the wheels are just not what I prefer. I am sure they are light however. Brembos look very serious and the way this car sits it looks perfect.

With the exception of the lowered stance, I think the car looked better before.
Those wheels are awful and the rear diffuser is just stupid. Sorry.

Did you do any tests on the braking distance? Do they even make an improvement?
Just seems like a waste of money. 911's brake so well stock.

That rear diffuser got to go, on one of the shots with the 3/4 angle at the rear you can see some space between the diffuser and the bottom of the car, looks odd.

Looks amazing except for the Automatic.

Nice job (as usual) overall. I actually like the wheels and the carbon bits. But that diffuser just looks out of place to me. It looks great on the F430 but looks awful on the 911. In any case carbon fiber is not the best choice of material for "underbody" parts that may be subject to scraping as it is brittle, very difficult to repair and very expensive to replace.

Quality work as always from Sharkwerks.
The owner could have just bought a 997.1 GT3 with the costs of those components.

I gotta jump in here... I think it looks GREAT. Not all wheels work in all circumstances but I really like these. They some how add a nice aesthetic touch without taking the bad-boy look away. And the diffuser? Form vs. Function? I think it's cool. I'd like to drive this car!
