Default Anyone have this on their Cup or have for sale?

Saw it in a 997 Cup Addendum:

997.504.233.90 - suspension cross brace

Anyone have pics of it on their cup car?

And if anyone is willing to sell one, let me know. Im sure it doesnt do a ton, but still interested in it.

Front suspension? Cory Friedman had something similar in the rear of a Cup back in 2010. Might be worth a call to Autometrics.

The 997 chassis fatigue week point is the shock towers. This is why professional teams and even factory teams Will seam weld the chassis especially around the shock towers to prevent any lateral flex.

I don't think these are necessary for low hour chassis, but the front and rear brace might be worth looking at and testing only hundred plus our chassis.

But also remember that stiffer isn't always better...

Yes front suspension. It also bolts into the partition wall, not just at the strut bolts

You can see it installed here, took this from the install manual for it

Flex at towers changes camber - probably would not be legal for GTC classes?

If its a PMNA part and approved for GT3 Cup spec use in the one make porsche approved series im sure it will be ok for PCA or get approved if someone challenges.

Porsche loves to sell more parts!

Bringing this thread back from the dead

I have one of these bad boys for sale. $300 picked up in Santa Clarita. I'll throw in a free Fabspeed gt3 carbon intake. Missing the carbon plate, but complete pipe and filters included as shown in the image below.
