I aligned the suspension of my GT2 per factory specs and the rear feels very loose (lots of oversteer). Sway bars are set neutral and tire pressures are at factory specs. Any suggestion to improve the factory suspension of the GT2. Since I mainly use this car in the street I do not want to install adjustable shocks, etc. (I have a GT3 Cup for the track)?

As you may know, the 996 GT3 rear control arms are adjustable. Could anyone please comment on the pros/cons of installing the 996 GT3 rear control arms in a GT2?

TIA.

With all that power and RWD only you are going to have some oversteer - much like th Porsche's of the 70's.

You might be able to tune a little out but you will never get to neutral handling. It takes a very experienced driver to drive a GT2 fast (IMHO of course).

You are right. The car feels like my first 930. What do you suggest? Dial the toe more positive? Instead of +13' set it at +25' or 30'?

Could you please comment on the GT3 adjustable rear control arms?

Regards.

"You might be able to tune a little out but you will never get to neutral handling."

I am getting a set of GT3 RS control arms fitted to my GT2 soon to provide more rear camber adjustment so will report back after 200 miles or so.

With a few more mods I believe the GT2 can be made to handle as good as a GT3
