Talking RSS Suspension Track Components Installed on a 997 GT2 @ SharkWerks





We've been using the RSS suspension parts for a while now on our cars this White 997GT2 also came in for a dose of suspension work, including our full track-orientated suspension components. The first step was to turn the camber plates to get more camber (an old trick from the 996 days):



Next the bushings are pressed out/removed:



And the RSS monoballs kit gets installed in their place. This kit replaces the four pivot bushings (one per corner) on the inner side of the lower control arms with steel monoballs, increasing the precision of the pivot motion of the control arm as it travels up and down under cornering.



And in go the adjustable thrust-arm bushings. The aluminum adjustable thrust arm bushings replace the neoprene factory units on the other end (outside) of the control arms. This allows for adjustable caster.





And on go the dog-bones. This kit replaces the four upper links (two per side) on the rear end of all 996/997 models. The RSS kit allows for sufficient adjustable camber on lowered cars (the factory adjustment is insufficient on lowered cars, resulting in improper camber settings). The links also replace the neoprene bushings with steel monoballs, reducing movement in suspension components and increasing road feedback and "feel".:



On goes the adjustable toe-steer kit. On lowered Porsches with a factory toe steer link, the limited adjustment results in incorrect toe geometry in the rear. This kit is designed to fix that problem. It also replaces the inner neoprene bushing with a steel monoball.



With a full race alignment by our friends at TC Design this car is fully ready for some track-action...
