PhilT3 - I just noticed in your signature that you GT3 has a front axle lift. That doesn't help enough to lift your car over the tire stops?

I have replaced the lower panels because of this issue on my car and also a friends car and we are running standard suspension setup, Porsche class it as a consumable.

I do use the car on track so I assume the high speed cornering is to blame, I also notice tyre rubber marks on the upper panel, don't think that will be too long till that puts a hole in it around the fixing for the front bumper to wing.

It does.... But if there is a 'fix' to keeping them from getting destroyed I'd like to incorporate it.

Replace those parts with the Cup car parts. They are cheap if I remember correctly. Replacement panels are flat and flush.

Cup definitely looks like an upgrade with regards to sustainability

Probably not. I have the front axle lift so I don't need it.

I'd like to get them fixed and then so what RM and OrthoJoe did and change the caster puck and go to solid cup car bushings instead of rubber.
