BBi Autosport Front Bump Steer Kit


  • Helps eliminate bump steer by maintaining proper front end suspension Geometry
  • Utilizes misalignment rod ends of the arm to provide maximum articulation
  • Highly recommended for vehicles that have been lowered
  • Each kit includes pair of 2 Links

BBi Autosport Rear Adjustable Toe

  • Provides additional rear toe adjustment
  • OEM link is non adjustable and eccentric bolt provides limited adjustment range, causing excessive tire wear and handling issues.
  • Helps maintain proper rear end suspension geometry
  • Each kit includes pair of 2 Links

BBi Autosport Front & Rear Thrust Arm Kit



  • Connects the Lower Control Arm to the subframe
  • Provides precision caster adjustability
  • Spacers included for setting stock or anti-squat and anti-dive configurations
  • Each Kit Includes Pair of 2 Links

BBi Autosport Front & Rear Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kit


  • Provides two eccentric mounting points
  • Used to adjust for increasing or decreasing wheelbase, and adjustable caster.
  • A must-have for extended lower control arms (GT3 control arms or eccentric monoballs) to correct for unintended caster change
  • Compatible with all stock Porsche 996 and 997 lower control arms (including Porsche Motorsport Cup arms)
  • Sold as a set of 2 or a Complete set of 4

Tarrett Front and Rear Adjustable Sway Bar End Links

  • Simple bolt in replacement for the factory drop links
  • Left & right hand threaded rod-ends allow for simple length adjustment to eliminate swaybar preload
  • Correctly sized, precision, Teflon-lined rod-ends for smooth and quiet operation, long life, and high reliability. No wear and rattling problems, like those seen with other designs, due to undersized or low quality rod ends
  • Eliminates the factory compliant plastic drop link bushings that deflect under loading and quickly wear out
  • High misalignment, stainless steel spacers allow for superior bind free operation and corrosion resistance
  • Precisely connects the stock or adjustable swaybar to the front strut assembly for improved feedback and swaybar response
  • Overall length is adjustable to accommodate either stock or adjustable swaybar requirements

BBi 981 GT4 StreetCup Harness Bar



Our bar features 4130 chrome moly steel tubing for excellent strength to weight ratio and addresses issues such as harness angle, seat travel, and engine compartment access. With our sensible design approach, the bar mounts to frame structure in the cabin and rear strut towers to provide the strongest mounting points and maximum protection. For superior strength and rigidity, high strength 4130 chrome moly steel tubing was used throughout and all joints are meticulously TIG welded by hand. Bolt-in installation is accomplished by using Inner Diameter Tube Clamps that are CNC turned and milled for a precise fit. These unique joints allow us to eliminate the more traditional slip fit tubes with an unsightly through-bolt and nut. Consistent with our design philosophy, the final result is a bar that is clean & functional.

Key Features
  • Chrome moly steel tubing utilized for excellent strength to weight ratio
  • Modular construction to allow access to engine for servicing without removing entire roll bar
  • Shoulder harness mounting crossbar positioned at appropriate height as per Schroth's instructions
  • TIG welded and utilizes "X" braces on rear section for superior strength and rigidity
  • Mounts to frame structure and rear strut tower to provide strongest mounting points and maximum protection
  • Utilizes laser cut mounting plates & inner diameter tube clamps that are CNC turned and milled for a precise fit
  • Designed to work with stock or any aftermarket seats on the market
  • Minimal affect on seat travel to accommodate taller drivers
  • Can be used with stock seat-belts or 6 point harnesses for track use
  • Designed to work with wrap-around style harnesses while optional eyelet bolt provisions are available for clip-in harnesses
  • OEM fit & finish. The main hoop contours entire arch of the roof with an even curve
  • Finished in satin black powder coat. Other colors available
  • Bolt-in installation requires no drilling and minimal carpet trimming

Stupid question. Based on the markings on the side of the tires, arrow + HC lines, did the tires rotate on the rim during your driving sessions?

Yes, very common. Tires rotate on the wheels during heavy braking.
The arrows show how much rotation.

wow so awesome again! thanks.

Do you know aprox how much weight was cut with the interior modifications? and then i guess in total with the header and exhaust mods?

also for the canards i noticed those are motorsport parts and not AM, are they exposed carbon or black? any reason for those rather than one of the other companies that has been advertising on the boards?

again thanks for sharing, suuuupppper cool.

and a question for the general audience... why do a build like this? (because manual???)

when i can guess the money that was thrown at this car and a real CS can be had fairly easily in the 158-165K range and at 165K they are pretty much new...

sale price of this car + cost of this build = PMNA CS??

(one of the first lines was dedicated track car, so ovb ignoring the street legal aspect)
