Hey fellas, here's a suspension-a-polooza update for project ZTadpol. We've gotten quite a few new toys in this week so I thought I'd give you a little sample of some of the suspension changes in store. In many ways thanks to the 6speed community and friends we've made we've actually been working behind the scenes with the team at RSS. Their manufacturing expertise/ capabilities and their ability to work in-house is so paramount. In fact, they've long been cranking out some of our parts and have been making parts for just about everyone for donkeys years. Their full line has been available for 996/997 cars for a while and our 09 997 is no different and hence we've been hammering away at suspension components for the more ardent track folks.
This includes an adjustable toe steer kit (also replaces the inner bushing with a steel monoball) as shown here:

And compared to the stocker

Also on tap are the adjustable thrust arm bushings (which do away with the neoprene):

And finally the monoball lower control arm kit.

Dan will be releasing all of the info etc... over the next few days but for now that's a taste or you can head over to the suspension section on the site and dig around

The light's a little better today and with the rotors off (more on that in a second...) you can get a better idea of the level of adjustability and just how we're rid of most of the "cushy" stuff![Wink](https://teamspeed.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Now on to the two piece rotor upgrades. The 997S 09 comes with 330mm front and 330mm rears so not only are we going with a lighter weight two piece slotted/drilled rotor but these can actually bolt on with caliper spacers to fit 350mm ones (also still lighter).
All four stock vs new:

Front RSS one comes in at 22.16 pounds:

Smaller stock one is still heavier at 23.24 pounds

New larger rears at 17.7 pounds:

Old smaller stockers at 19.86 pounds:

James fabbed one of our fire extinguisher bracket and kit set ups to work with our manual sport seats. Not sure what you guys think but if there's enough demand we might make them.
