the part numbers don't exist for the 997gt3 - they only show up in the diagram for the 996gt3 suspension - these are the parts that I ordered from my dealer - i don't have the part numbers handy as they are at a local shop getting installed tomorrow

the answer is to phone any parts dealer and get the 996gt3 spacers (as I cannot say for 100% certain that they fit, if you wait until tomorow I can let you know

i will also be able to tell you approximately what 1mm= in degrees

Car setup is coming along nicely. At the shop today for full race alignment + corner balancing as well as solid motor mounts.

Done so far...
GT3 seats
REAL GENUINE RS CAGE
clear side market lights
BMC airfilter
VossTek fully adjustable racing pedals
Rear wing adjustment to 8°
Video camera mounted
Fire extinguisher mounted
full graphics package applied (car looks like a Cup Car now)
Brake bleed with Castrol SRF
Harnesses installed

In Progress...
RS LWFW + Clutch + RSR pressure plate
Change to Pagid RS-14 Pads
BBS Magnesium 3 piece wheels + Hoosiers
Straight pipes (exhaust is WAY TO HEAVY)
Optima light weight battery
Data acquisition system
Fire suppression system

I know I know I know, I should be committed...
