You should weigh the mufflers and cats. IIRC they're around 85 lbs. together....
If for any reason you have the motor or trans out remember to replace the AOS. It's a $110. part....

Is that Dan's (Fissionx) old car? Should be a solid starting point.
GT3 sway bars are an easy swap since the adjustable drop links are already present and are an easy, worthwhile upgrade.

Jr, I was able to make out some writing on a sticker on the damper body. I was able to make out "996 GT3". Lots of numbers stamped on the damper body as well along with "made in Germany", so I'm going with Sachs....what do you think?
On a side note.....I am ordering the LN Engineering deep sump kit and read it increases the oil capacity by 5 quarts!! A small spacer increases that much?? I believe the car already takes 10 quarts so I will need 15 quarts??!! I wasn't able to locate a phone number on the LN website.

for suspension you can get it all from tarett - LCAs, rear toe arms, front fork arms

and optionally dogbones. Tarett uses ERP rod ends - best on the market.
they also have this:

x51 oil pan and GT3 sways are cheaper from suncoast.
