GMG Porsche 997 GT3 GT3RS Adjustable Sway Bar
The GMG Adjustable Sway Bar Kit for the Porsche 997 GT3RS helps reduce body roll and offers a wide range of adjustments to fine tune the vehicle handling characteristics.
Featuring hollow tube bars that are 5 adjustment points in the front and 3 in the rear, the GMG sway bars offers an increase in stiffness over the stock bars and a wide range of adjustability. The objective of a sway bar is to reduce body roll and stabilize a vehicle under lateral forces. Having adjustability permits the roll stiffness to be tuned by increasing or reducing the length of the lever arms for different situations without replacing the entire bar. To improve the responsiveness of the vehicle, polyurethane bushings are utilized instead of rubber because the rubber flexes, compresses, and stretches when put under stress.
The GMG adjustable sway bar kit is designed and manufactured by Eibach exclusively for GMG. Through the motorsports partnership, GMG developed lowering spring kits for high performance street applications using the data and knowledge gained over the years from professional racing in the ALMS and Pirelli World Challenge Series. The result is the improvement in the handling without costing thousands of dollars like the bladed racing versions that are used on race cars.
Sold as a complete kit, the GMG sway bar kit is a true bolt on upgrade that requires no modifications to your vehicle and works with the OEM sway bar drop links and dampers or any aftermarket damper such as JRZ or Ohlins.
Key Features
- Improves Handling and Reduces Body-Roll
- Increased Stiffness Over OEM Bars
- 5 Front and 3 Rear Adjustable Points to Fine Tune Handling Characteristics
- Urethane Bushings For Increased Responsiveness

The rod ends & spherical bearings are made out of zinc plated low carbon steel and hard chrome plated steel.
GMG Porsche 996 997 Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kit
The GMG Thrust Arm Bushing Kit replaces the flexible factory rubber thrust arm bushings to significantly improve handling and responsiveness of the vehicle. Stock rubber bushings compress under load, causing unwanted caster changes in both front and rear suspension under acceleration and deceleration. This allows the alignment to wander and makes the car less predictable. Our solid aluminum design eliminates compression to hold alignment settings precisely with minimal effect on road noise transmissions into the cabin. Compatible with all stock lower control arms, as well as adjustable GT3 and Porsche Motorsport Cup arms, each kit is sold as a set of 4 for both the front and rear arms.
[b]GMG Porsche 996 997 Bump & Toe Steer Kit [b]
The GMG bump & toe steer will give you the toe adjustment needed that is not available with stock links and minimize bump steer. This kit is highly recommended for vehicles that have been lowered with aftermarket lowering springs or a full coilover suspension kit.
In addition to adjusting toe, it will also allow you to correct bump steer. A car that bump-steers requires constant steering adjustment to maintain a steady trajectory over uneven surfaces. The result is an annoying steering wheel jerk whenever you go over any bumps in the road, and bump steer becomes more severe with lowered ride height.
The adjusting link has a left and right hand thread on each end. Rotating the link will increase or decrease the overall length of the arm. A precision Teflon lined spherical rod end replaces the compliant rubber factory bushing for improved suspension response and feedback, and also reduces toe changes during acceleration and deceleration. The result is improved stability and control.

Are the headers throwing codes like everyone I know who has them is experiencing (including myself) ? I'm really not happy with how you guys take no responsibility for this. I have removed mine, and will have a hard time selling as a result.

Thank you for bringing this issue and your less than satisfactory experience to our attention. I would like to take this opportunity to personally take a further look into the issues that you were having. Since I personally do not recall handling your issue directly, please email us all the details and any past email correspondences to myself at Jerry@GMGRacing.com and/or to James at James@GMGRacing.com.
Also, we would like to take this opportunity to inform other Rennlist members about a few facts. We have installed many of these 997 GT3 header systems at GMG and through our dealer network worldwide over the past few years with very minimal problems.
Under normal operating conditions with everything functioning properly, the header system should not trigger the Check Engine Light. Some of the issues that a few customers such as Rennlist member ShakeNBake experienced can be attributed to many causes.
One of the causes can be that the catalytic converters failing prematurely. While we do our best to stand behind our products and provide an limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects (such as weld failures), but it does not cover wear items such as catalytic converters. To ensure optimum reliability and efficiency, we use the highest quality German made HJS catalytic converters but all catalytic converters have a finite lifespan that can be drastically shortened by extreme operating conditions such as motorsports use.
Without knowing all details about Rennlist member ShakeNBake's issues or operating condtions, we cannot make any conclusions at the moment.
Regards,
Jerry

Guys, it's not worth my time anymore. It's not the burden of the customer to prove anything but ask for help. I'm working through a local shop in austin and they said you were not interested in replacing the cats - and that's what they think is wrong. Happy to send it to you, but I'm not sinking any more money or time into them except bitching about your products in this forum.
Sharkwerks on the other hand has spent hours with me on the phone about a $100 part.

For as short a time as ShakeNBake has had his RS, I call total BS on cats having a finite life. The cat in his avatar has a finite life. 200 cell cats are going to throw a code on secondary o2 sensors whether the cats are new or 5 years old. Those high flow (low reaction conversion) cats require a tune to prevent a CEL. The light may not show up immediately, but it will show up. While these cars are driven hard on the track, the overall volumetric throughput shouldn't be any more than a street car on an average basis. FVD headers and cats look pretty damn close to GMG, and they told me straight up they would throw a code with no tune.

2. Majority of GT3/GT3RS vehicles with GMG cats have zero problems under normal operating conditions.
3. Extreme operating conditions such as motorsports use or improper fuel/air ratio accelerate wear and tear
4. Our 996 and 997 Turbo cats almost never fail after years of daily driving
5. O2 Sensor parameters on the GT3 are much more narrow. Unlike the Turbo and other vehicles, the slightest degradation of the cats can trigger the CEL
6. Software flash is highly recommended to widen the parameters of the O2 sensors
ShakeNBake,
We are here to do our best to help our customers and those of our dealers but "bitching" about our products on this forum is not going to help resolve the problem. Instead, we would like
to help you if you can present us with the following information:
1. Invoice with Date of Purchase
2. Mileage on vehicle since the installation of the part
3. Detailed Description of Problem
Surelynkid,
The HJS 200 Cell high flow catalytic converters do not always trigger a check engine light. If that was true, then most of our customers would be having this problem since we have sold hundreds of these headers worldwide over the past few years. A few owners have experienced the Check Engine Light when there is a slight degradation of the cats because the parameters of the 02 sensor on the 997 GT3RS is very narrow compared to other models. If the cats are still good, one solution that we have is spacing the 02 sensors further from the cats to reduce the readings of the gases. In many cases, this resolves the problem. Flashing the ECU is also highly recommended as it would also solve this problem by changing the parameters of the 02 sensors.

Guys, it's not worth my time anymore. It's not the burden of the customer to prove anything but ask for help. I'm working through Elite in austin and they said
you were not interested in replacing the cats - and that's what they think is wrong. Happy to send it to you, but I'm not sinking any more money or time into them except bitching about
your products in this forum. Sharkwerks on the other hand has spent hours with me on the phone about a $100 part.

For as short a time as ShakeNBake has had his RS, I call total BS on cats having a finite life. The cat in his avatar has a finite life. 200 cell cats are going
to throw a code on secondary o2 sensors whether the cats are new or 5 years old. Those high flow (low reaction conversion) cats require a tune to prevent a CEL. The light may not show up
immediately, but it will show up. While these cars are driven hard on the track, the overall volumetric throughput shouldn't be any more than a street car on an average basis. FVD
headers and cats look pretty damn close to GMG, and they told me straight up they would throw a code with no tune.

hmm, just remembered this... seems like they have "good" products, but poor customer service
