IMO the Rennline tuneable mounts win purely due to the fact you have the ability to customise them to your liking. Honestly though I suspect most of the urethane based mounts are similar.

an old post but am wondering what results people have gotten depending on which of the three mounting holes on the GT2 sway bar?

I go full stiff on a short track, full soft on a long track. Middle hole street.

Anyone with a 997.2 with the gt2 sway bar? I hear it might rub ... especially a PDK car... I have and am hoping the manual car will work. Apparently no issues on a .1 car.

I thought you had 964RS mounts?

I installed my Gt2RS sway bar on my 997.2 turbo stick..... absolutely a fabulous mod! Car feels much more sharper and responsive.

About a 30 minute job at most. Super easy.

I thought the OEM GT2 bar did not fit the 997.2??

Yes.. I think he's a manual though. It's the PDK that it doesn't fit (correct me if I'm wrong)

One thing I always struggle with is the comparison of 997.2 TT vs the 997.2 TTS. I know porsche put some special juice in the S with respect to the ECU and performance. I'm looking at changing to 20" wheels and lowering. I track once a year but like spirited back road cruising. I have the DSC upgrade. I've read that I should look at some suspension modifications to better suit the 20" 20 x 9 front with 245 30 20 MPSS and 20 x 12 rear with 325 25 20 MPSS and lowering. I would also like to correct bump steer. I may eventually get into more track days. I daily drive the car from May to October so I don't want to kill my back by over-stiffening the ride on our ****ty Ontario highways.

What I'm thinking
Springs: GMG (https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...wering-springs)
Rear sway bar: GT2RS (will it fit?) vs GMG (https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...wc-swaybar-kit)

Do I need:
Rear toe kit: RSS or GMG WC REAR BUMP & TOE STEER KIT (https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...oe-steer-kit-1)
Front toe Kit: GMG WC FRONT BUMP & TOE STEER KIT (https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...-toe-steer-kit)
Rear upper Camber control arms - Torque Solution Camber Control Arms (Dogbones) (http://www.evoms.com/Porsche_911_Tor...ts-por-002.htm) vs GMG (https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...r-control-arms) vs BBi https://www.bbiautosport.com/product...ontrol-arm-kit
Rear Lower control arms: BBi (https://www.bbiautosport.com/product...ontrol-arm-kit) vs Tarett GT3 Lower Control Arm Conversion with LCA Monoball (https://www.demonspeedmotorsports.co...r-LCA997FM.htm)
Front Lower Control Arms: Porsche Motorsport Front Control Arms vs BBi (same link above) vs Tarett GT3 (same link above)
Bushings upgrade? https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...st-arm-bushing
Motor mounts shouldn't be required as the TTS is already upgraded from factory??

Doubt it but read about:
TPC Wide Track Kit Lower Control Kit - upgraded Porsche Motorsport Front Control Arms, Front Wishbones, and the TPC Racing Front Axles Spacer Kit,
Thrust arm kit - BBi (https://www.bbiautosport.com/product...thrust-arm-kit) vs GMG https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...le-thrust-arms
Drop Links - Tarett - https://www.demonspeedmotorsports.co...6TTFDLNK-S.htm
Camber plate - Tarett https://www.demonspeedmotorsports.co...-996C4FSMT.htm

I wish there was a picture which highlighted each component above and what an upgrade would provide to street driving.
