I guess the front seeing less load is less critical?

THIS is exactly what i am talking about!!

Yup that was definitely part of the issue and some others in those laps as I was trying to find grip all around! Also didn't help when I lifted in a 911.....

Ordered the full boat setup today. I will add the front toe steer kit if the car is ever lowered (I'm not sure, but I don't think there is any advantage on a stock height car). Can't wait to see how it works.

Ha ha, I was wondering the same thing.

Quite a coincidence Leh, we have been following the same path of cars and forums for years now. I had an STI when you did, than went on to the new M3 , now the GT3.

Beautiful car by the way, that very car would be the only reason I would move from my 6-3 GT3. My favorite RS that is for sure.

I must say you sure have been "representing" these last few years in the Porsches, Kudos to you and good luck in the near and distant future.

Yes, but at least we have folks like Leh that provide the inspiration.

Anybody have an idea on the approximate number of hours to install 4 rear links, the rear toe steer kit (2 pieces), the front and rear lower control arms (4 total), and the 2 engine mounts on my .1RS? This way I have an idea of dealer cost versus doing it myself. I realize I have to haul it to the dealer for an alignment anyway ($200), just trying to get it figured before I go get a price as this type of job is somewhat foreign to them. Thanks in advance.
