Oi from Norway everyone!

My Mk1 996 GT3 has around 80.000 miles now, and its getting ready for a refresh.

Bushings/brakes etc.

Should I go Powerflex or OEM bushings? Or Monoball/RSS? Its for road driving primarily.

Additionally, lemonade/lemons - what brakes should I upgrade to? No point buying new standard discs/brakes..?

cheers!

shocks are good, PSS9. Gearbox recently overhauled for 7000 euros all syncrorings including a 8:32 cup drive ( 2nd goes to 63 mph 3rd to around 90 mph").

Clutch is ok. Manthey exhaust is ok.

Nice, duly noted. Go the "Full hog" and just replace everything?
will give JZM a call for sure...

Are Mk2 discs a straight fit on the Mk1?
