Installed Eibiach sway bars front and rear, set on the middle, all stock suspension. Didn't know how much may car pushed until now. Very neutral and no noticeable harshness, did notice the PSM kicked in on some dips where it didn't in the past. It will be interesting to see the difference near the limit, won't test that until next autocross in April. Took about 1 1/2 hours to do both. No fit issues like some of the early rear bars had with rubbing on the crossmember.

I have ordered some new coil springs for me from http://www.sterling-springs.co.uk/. I would like to install them in order to lower my ride a little. Can't wait for them to ship!

750 mile round trip with my 10 yo son to Amelia island werks reunion and the concours. Ran great.

With Waze + Radenso XP we made great time.

Snowed the next morning at home before I could put her back to bed.

Did you get the calipers refinished? Those look great. Mine are turning pink.

No. The only thing wrong with them was that the white "PORSCHE" paint was fading and could be wiped off by hand during car washes. I cleaned the calipers up real well, and applied vinyls for a new "PORSCHE" logo. I was going to re-clear them, but I'm leaving it as is. I figured I could only mess them up.

My slow crawl to tightening up the old girl took another step today with solid LCA bushings in the rear. No a dramatic change but definitely feels a little more planted under acceleration. Especially when accelerating out of a corner. So far i have RS motor mounts, then Eibach sway bars and now the LCA bushings. Next week is a set of PS2s road force ballanced.

Finished up the GT3 brake install this weekend with the "big yellows". What a difference! I'm ready for the salt to clear off the road and go for a drive!

Very nice! Where did you acquire the brake upgrade?
