ViperBob, I know a bunch of us were hoping for a 996 GT3 rear sway bar GB. Have prices come down on them at all? Thanks!

Yesterday those GT3 bars were $548 (after they were $187 for the past 4 years). I am checking to see the current pricing and will let you know.

Same with Brake Pads. It is going to be a couple of days until they can get their systems changed with the new pricing..

might as well buy another one- you know you're gonna need it eventually.

Viper Bob:

Thanks for giving us the heads-up! I will wait a week or so to place an order for the front lip.

Thank you for the great news. The 1 Feb 2008 price changes made no sense at all. Appeared to be an error in their price change, maybe it was supposed to be 10% but it came out as a 100% price increase.

How hard is it to swap out the stock one and install the cup lip?

viperbob,

I called a Porsche dealer and they don't have the new prices yet, still working from the 1 Feb 2008 data. I know you said it would take awhile, just letting folks know its not done as of this morning.

Thanks VB. I was at my dealer last week and he said that the Euro RS seats were up to $9600 per seat! Glad I got my early and have been thinking about selling them. They don't fit my back.
