Porsche GT cars set lap records and win performance car of the year awards.  The GT3 is arguably the greatest all around sports car on the planet.  It may not be the best in any one metric, but overall performance, driver experience and value, it’s hands down the best.  For a few people that would argue it’s the best would likely choose the GT4 or GT2.  So, how do you improve the best?  As we mentioned above, wheels can certainly be an opportunity.  Not everyone may have chosen the Magnesium wheels on their GT cars and we can offer the light weighting and dampening of magnesium at half the cost.  If your GT car does have magnesium wheels, we can improve your mechanic grip and ability to corner at any speed, accelerate earlier and brake later by increasing your wheel width by 1” or more.  By collaborating on your wheel clearances, we can find that extra inch that is worth seconds on track.

Additionally, as good as the GT cars balance is, many track enthusiasts have proven there is opportunity for improvement and Ohlins TTX is what most GT teams use on track.  The Twin Tube technology provides the purest damping on the planet as it uses a solid piston and moves oil through remote adjustments.  This provides compression and rebound adjustments that don’t affect each other and lowers hysteresis, meaning the ability to control your car at that moment and not have the previous response limit the current response needed.  Not only will TTX improve control on track, but their adjustment ranges also leads to more comfort on the street.

Finally, AP Racing Radical brakes, will improve your caliper reliability via more durable and heat resistance parts as well as braking feel with the stiffest calipers in the market.  Every mm your caliper flexes takes away braking feel.  Additionally, moving to steel rotors controls maintenance cost while improving braking feel as ceramics can be difficult to modulate, all while having similar rotor weight with a properly designed system.

For 911s, Boxsters and Caymans not quite looking that all out track package but better dynamics on the street, we would recommend our Aluminum Grip wheels and Ohlins DFVs.  Our Al Grip wheels should save 2-5 lbs per corner depending on your OEM wheels providing a noticeable weight savings.  Again, this will be equivalent to 40-80 lbs of static weight improving acceleration, corning and braking.  Additionally, we feel that we can add at least 1” of wheel width, widening contact patch or allowing you to run 10-20mm wider tiers improving mechanical grip.  This will noticeably improve the cars responsiveness and corning at lower and higher speeds.

The Ohlins DFVs provide a best of both worlds’ improvement in comfort and performance handling.  The DFV valving is actually a 3^rd super high-speed oil path (on top of the stander low and high-speed paths) that act like a 2 way blow off valve.  This provides the benefit of improving comfort over potholes and other obstacles as it opens the damper oil to move freely around the valving allowing the wheel to move up and down quickly.  Other shocks either cannot not compress quickly because they don’t have a blow off valve or ones that do have a one way blow off value cannot rebound quickly and simply can move back down causing the car to crash back to the ground.  Even with stiffer springs than OEM, the dual flow super high-speed oil path provides more comfort than OEM as the dampening and not the Spring that provides harshness.

The Dual Flow Valve has a performance benefit as it keeps the wheel on the ground in more high-speed situations improving stability.  Imagine hitting a bump or dip at high speed, if your suspension cannot allow the wheel to move up and down quickly then you will momentarily loose tire contact and the car will have temporary loss of grip.  This will feel like a twitch or snap providing some white knuckling.  We have dozens of reviews on other cars calling out the high-speed stability with improved comfort with many of our customers upgrading from other popular European shocks.
