Moton MotorSports 4-way $7,000
Olaf Manthey Camber Plates $1,700
Ti Spring, Helpers, HyperCo spring perches $2,300
Porsche Motorsports F/R lower Control Arms $6,000
Porsche MotorSports 997 RSR Toe Links (4) $2,800
RSR lightweight uprights (F/R) $6,000
ERP Racing Upper control arms (dog bones) $1,000
Rear Upper Monoball Strut Mount $500
RSR Trailing arms $1,500
RSR sway bars $5,000

This is without changing the subframes, which you can do and run the car 40mm lower

Free labor, remove 300 lbs, then alignment and corner weights. Done: 2,900 lbs (no fuel) car that on 24/64-30/68 Michelin slicks will crush any Cup car, while being street legal.

Indeed, a modified 996 GT2 is a good idea. There is already plenty of development done on the engine by various tuners.

Whoa. What would be the advantage to running RSR sways for nearly 10 times the price of a GMG or H&R sway? 5k for sways seems a bit insane.

Corey, Fab recommended the cup sways to me too as the only sway upgrade worth doing. I was gong to do the uprights until James told me what they cost. My wallet hurts just reading Rads list !

Rad, why don't you get a 6-GT2 and transfer all your bits to it? I've been thinking about that. Wait a minute, I just re read the list, where did you get the 4 way for 7 k?? Who are you sleeping with?

Are you refering to me? COLBY?!

Did Fabryce quote you 5k for sways? 4 way for 7k is about right. Remember its only the damper, not tender or main springs, etc...
