My .02.
Do you mean oversteer?

I am looking forward to it as well, do you know any one that has the Bilstein? It would be interesting to see if you both would drive each others cars back to back and write independent reviews of the two setups.

That would be a killer comparison. No one I know well enough has Damptronics. Good friend w/ Motons on a 996 GT3 but no direct comparison on a 997 available yet.

GTB/ZR-1 is infamous around these parts
Are you experiencing the push only @ turn-in, but not in steady-state?

Have you installed the front lower control arms yet? Doing that and getting a proper alignment is going to be a huge improvement over stock.

I would like to increase negative camber up front, but camber is maxed. GT3 lower control arms are the obvious solution everyone mentions, but what about a adjustable camber plate? Is anyone making these for 997's? What are the pro's and con's of each?

I've heard that before... I've also said that before.

Of course, I don't know you, so maybe you are more committed than I am.

I'm not saying you shouldn't upgrade the suspension becuase you might not really keep the car for a really long time, but realistically, within a few years you may very well identify enough reasons to get a different car and then it will make more sense to buy that car.

What happens when a 2007 997 turbo can be had for $75k?

You will be repeatedly tempted!

Northvan,

My buddy GOMEZ has my exact car with PSS10's and GMG sway bars.

We also do track days together, so after I have mine installed we will swap cars on the track and give a subjective analysis.

I wasn't sure if you new him, but his car would be perfect for back to back (independent) reviews.

He of course is with out the other cool little bits to the suspension that you are adding, but it will be good to get both reviews.
