:yum:

Should include the Dunlop Maxx Race on that list too. Maxx Race and Cup + are both OEM for 991 GT3.

You just can't settle for the normal best, you must have the absolute best, don't ya?

Since there is no fuel pressure tap for a gauge to check fuel pressure at the engine. phunk put this together for me. :tiphat: This was to help me figure out my fuel problem. With everything working correctly. I have 65 lbs of fuel pressure at an idle.

I am just wondering what else is there to change up front...except for BBK and coilovers, I don't recall any aftermarket part that he doesn't already have.

Hey Rusty, I'm very interested to hear your impression and opinion on the SPL bushing....I didn't order them since the difference may be too minute for novice like me to realize, but on the other hand I may as well do it while car is under the knife, save on alignment and labor cost...

Yea, I'll post a write up on the install and the difference in feel. What I want to do is eliminate the slop in the front before I change sway bars and coil-overs. But before I put coil-overs on. I'm going to change out the bushings in the rear too. Maybe next spring. When I get more money and time.

^ I read some basic comments here and there about stock rubber bushing vs aftermarket ones, but I never have any graphical illustration that would demonstrate it in flesh...

Found this, very interesting, link below, go to post #19 video

LG MOTORSPORTS Coil Overs and Mono Ball Bushings Review - Corvette Forum

Didn't know stock rubber bushing can move that much. I am reconsidering adding the bushings and just bite the bullet all together.

My Hotchkis sway bars came in. So I installed the front bar and did a oil change too tonight. It was time for that. I'll install the rear bar tomorrow night. My end links didn't come in. So I'll install them when I do the SPL arms and bushing.

When installing the front bar. Look at how the stock bar is bent before you remove it. This way, you can install the new bar right side up, not up side down. ;)

Here's a couple of pictures to show the difference between the stock Nismo bar and the Hotchkis bar.

Ok, got the rear Hotchkis sway bar installed. I have it set to the softest setting. Tomorrow, I'll take it out for a test ride, after I get back from buying something BIG.
