They are very different cars

Very nice Karl!

If you still have the stock suspension, you may want to consider upgrading to Ohlins R&T. They are inexpensive and provide a significant improvement (handling & ride quality) IMHO.

Nice car, Karl.

By the way, I think there is a character limit for sold cars in signature lines. You're likely getting close.

Thanks, the suspension is one of my favorite parts on this car. It has progressive springs, similar to a 996 GT3 RS. Very stiff but compliant enough to not completely beat you up on the street.

Thanks for your concern but I don’t consider 35 Porsche’s in the last 42 years excessive

I’m a slow learner.

The answer to your next question is, yes we are shopping for another

your math is slightly off: 04996GT3 + 18991.2GT3T =

Dumb luck finding these, picked them up in Philadelphia today.

Following a clean up they should go in this weekend along with the roll-bar

Finally got around to installing these and they are fantastic. Aaron almost talked me out of them, I’m glad he insisted that I try them out first.

They really transform the car
