Thanks INFMS! The price of KW's are reasonable and their reputation is stellar!
Apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum! On a separate note, I am considering the following and would appreciate your opinions:
So far, I have the following:
- BMC Air Filter
- RSS X-Pipe (but have heard that the Sharkwerks is better in design)
- GT3 Cup Front Splitter
- Basic Track Set Up: Lowered Suspension / Wheel Alignment
Considering:
- Guards LSD Re-build
- Switching to Sharkwerks or GMG Exhaust
- KW Suspension or equivalent incl. dog bones / toe steer kit etc...
- Cargraphic Short Shift Kit (-35%)
- Pagid RS Brake Pads + Braided Brake Lines
- EVOMSit ECU
- Lightweight Battery
- Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (replacing Pirelli Corsa's)
- RSS Roll Cage
- GMG Sway Bar
- Recaro Seats with Harness
- GT3 RS 4.0 Dive Planes
- Light Weight (GT3 RS or equivalent Rear Spoiler)
- Some Light Weight Wheels!
Or, of course..switch to a Cup Car!

All you will ever need on top of what you already have is:
Pagid pads with SRF brake fluid.
modified LSD
rear toe links
MPSC tires
GT2 seats/scroth harnesses
Porsche tequipment roll bar. (no welding, no fuss, no muss)
corner balance, track alignment.

Definitely (well, your safety gear list is great to have no matter what).
Last year when my pro coach drove my car 6 seconds faster than me on a 2 minute lap, it was made loud and clear to me that I had no business modding my car trying to make it faster. I was the weak link by a long shot. My philosophy now is to not "upgrade" bits on my car unless the original part is broken. So I'm slowly fixing the nut behind the wheel since that's the most broken part of my car.

That's exactly right! go get a pro driver to teach you to drive and diagnose your cars handling before doing any mods, don't waist your money until you are capable of taking your machine to its limits
