I didn't find them there, but I did find them here:

But they can't be good enough for a Porsche at $2.50 a piece.

 

Price the heim joints next to get even more of a depressing shock!

BTDT. On my old 911, I broke a heim joint on a TRG drop link. The replacement from TRG was $125. I got one in a higher grade for $29 at the local machine shop supply company.

I PMed Mike at AWE and he said they no longer carry CPP parts, they have switched to ERG, I believe he told me. Looks like it's back to the RSS special and buy after market booties for the heim joints.

 

I just pulled the trigger on 4 GT3 lower control arms and the RSS sale kit with 4 dog bones, 2 toe steer arms and adjustable thrust arm bushings.

 

Cool!

Now when are you going to install all of that stuff sitting in your garage?

Jon

 

Yea, the $64,000 question. I want to do it now while there is still track season going on, but my chief instructor wants me to wait.

 

You have more patience than I do!

 

if you don't mind saying, how much was the total outlay for all that stuff.

 

$2500 for the above.

Jon, I'll be talking to my tech soon and then make a decision.

 

did he quote you how much labor time?

 

For those interested, Dan actually wrote up a brief description of what the components do and are for

No, not yet.

 

I just put 997 gt3 cup front control arms on my 2006 997S. I previously had front camber maxed out at -.9 degrees went to Watkins Glen on brand new Sport Cups and destroyed the front tires (outside edges) in 2 days of 5 hour per day driving in advanced DE groups with my son and I driving. Destroying $1000 worth of tires in 2 days pushed me over the edge and I had Farnbacher Loles install the front control arms and put camber to -2.15 (-1.95 rear with stock rear control arms - only need the fronts). They also strongly recommended adjustable rear toe links with solid ends as I run sport cups or Hoosiers - did that also.

Went to Watkins Glen again last weekend for 3 days, but shorter hours (2 1/2 per day) and a lot of rain. At end of weekend both my new Sport Cups and the Hoosiers that I used on the one dry day were in good condition - wear was very even - will get MUCH more use out of the tires - a case of you have to spend money on the alignment to save money on tires.

Turn in and cornering were also improved with more tread on the track in turns. The toe links seemed to stabilize the rear in corners with the R comp tires - but not as easy to prove as the return on the front control arms and the greater negative camber they allow. My camber was set by Farnbacher for 70% track , 30% street as I drive the car to the track and often around town. Very pleased with the improvement and the cost will quickly be recovered in tire cost savings! Also very pleased with Farnbacher Loles and recommend them to those in the area.

Hope this is helpful.
