Here are some Updates: GMG World Challenge Suspension Upgrade Package

GMG WC Transmission Mount








- Made of a high durameter urethane which limits the movement of the transmission during hard cornering or acceleration.

- Ideal for street cars used on the track or high horsepower street cars.

- Helps keep the transmission stable so you do not have a “money shift”.

- Very street-able, does not make noise or transmit unwanted vibration into cabin like a solid mount would.

- Bushing kit does NOT include the aluminum mount, it is shown for reference only.

http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...ion-mount.html

GMG WC Sway Bars





- Helps reduce body roll during fast cornering and to fine-tune the handling balance.

- Front and rear hollow tube

- 5 way front and 3 way rear adjustable

- The rear bar offers an increase in stiffness from 30 to 80 percent over the stock bar and the front bar offers an increase of 20-50 percent increase over the stock front bar.

- Sold as a complete kit and is a true bolt on upgrade that requires no modifications to your vehicle and works with the standard sway bar drop links and dampers or any aftermarket damper such as Moton, JRZ or Ohlins.

http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...-bars-mk2.html

GMG Dog Bone Kit



- Made of machined and hard anodized aluminum billet rod (6061)

- Only proper way to correct the rear suspension geometry of lowered 996 & 997 Porsche vehicles by offering a much wider range of adjustments.

- Lowered vehicles suffer premature tire wear as the factory eccentric rear bolts does not offer enough adjustment to properly re-align the vehicle back to desired specifications.

- 4 Links , 8 rod ends and 16 machined bushings.

- Requires NO modification to chassis, direct bolt on replacement part.

- Can be used on daily driven street cars, the links do not transmit road harshness into the cabin

GMG WC Front & Rear Bump Steer / Toe Steer Kit (sold separately in pairs)





- Half kit is used on the front of the vehicle and replaces the tie rod end to correct bump

http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...kit-front.html

http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...-kit-rear.html

GMG RSR Style Adjustable Thrust Arm (Sold Separately in Pairs)



- CNC machined out of aerospace grade aluminum and are hard anodized for corrosion resistance from the elements

- Feature anti dive and anti squat geometry to help keep the roll center of the vehicle within specification during hard braking and acceleration as well as high G cornering.

http://www.gmgracing.com/store/index...hrust-arm.html

GMG Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kit



- Signifigently improves the handling and response

- Allows for adjustment for additional caster as well

- Can be used in all lower stock control arms as well as adjustable Porsche Motorsport Cup arms.

- Eliminates unwanted caster changes in both front and rear suspension under acceleration and deceleration.

- Helps minimize the mushy feeling on the multilink factory suspension without added road harshness transmissions into the cabin.

Fabryce,

Do you guys sell those red bushings for the transmission mount separately? Or you have to buy the mount with them? (Since many of us have transmission carriers with worn rubber bushings sitting in the garage..)

I have a 'stupid' question.

Given the design of the front suspension's lower control arm, how is it that the Adjustable Thrust Arm can actually be used to adjust Caster without causing the lower control arm at it's connection point at the body to move properly without introducing non perpendicular movement (i.e. you are going to be forcing the arm where it doesn't want to go) - especially if a monoball is used in the lower control arm (not the case here)

- Weighs 7 lbs, saves 14lb over OEM
- Sport button remains fully functional for every day use, absolutely NO modifications necessary

In our next round of upgrades, we switch out the factory PCCB Brakes in favor of the track-proven StopTech® Trophy Big Brake Kit. Customers often ask, "Why switch out the space age featherweight carbon ceramic brakes for the steel ones?". The answer is that the steel brakes are far much more durable and economically feasible for regular track use; the replacement steel rotors cost a fraction of the OEM carbon ceramic counterpart and can endure the abuse at the track. We use these brakes on our very own Porsche race cars and so does many other top Speed® World Challenge and Grand-Am Cup Teams.
















StopTech® Trophy Big Brake Kit Features:

- Fully forged aluminum construction with hard anodized finish
- Patented, bolt-in bridge minimizes caliper compliance for a firmer pedal
- Stiffest 6 Piston caliper currently on the market
- Uses standard FMSI D1247 pad (VIEW PAD SHAPE)
- Can be used on rotors with outer diameter of 328-380mm and thickness of 28-35mm
- ALL finished parts are 100% leak down and pressure tested to 2500 PSI
- Uses a popular pad shape readily available in over 15 street performance and race friction compounds
- Over 19 different piston size combinations available to tune brake torque to the needs of each individual application
- Differential piston sizes minimize pad taper for longer pad life and a firmer pedal
- Dust boots are standard for reduced maintenance on Sport Trophy Kits

As the proud owner I have to say that GMG is one of the best customer focused companies I’ve worked with. Their attention to detail on the car, hardware build quality, and attention to the customer is first rate. I participated in their track day on the 29th with the car, again their focus on the customer was awesome – I’m looking forward to the next event. James, Allen, and Fabryce, the crew at the track, were all awesome during the car’s transition – special thanks to Sergey who did an awesome job with the build.

Performance was beyond expectations and I certainly have a bunch to learn…

Wow..looks awesome! Car sits really low. Is this a street low for looks set up or a track set up? Seems like the Florida GT3RS crew don't sit this low.

I love how clean the GMG shop is...I've been there and seen it 1st hand. The shop is like a surgery center and the tech's are clean. I like how they cover parts of the car with the blue plastic and cover the steering wheel. Plus they do great work.
