All these parts are just for fun honestly. After seeing the 911 RSR around the world for so many years I kinda just wanted my own "hardcore" build. I will say anecdotally there is this on ramp that has a dip that can get the rear end loose especially at speeds closer to 100. But this time around it felt way more planted

Gotcha... at the limit you will likely start seeing the front end push more, but understeer is a safer condition to be in, especially on the street.

Anecdotally I can confirm your statements, at least on a freeway drive. The steering does feel lighter and the car balance shifting to the rear at around 80-85+ MPH as the freeway turns into basically large sweepers.

I was extremely lucky to get onto the Supreme Power group buy... and then one person canceled their order. So I got mine like a month early or something.

Now like somebody else said, new ones are basically vapor ware at this point.

There is still a set at Supreme Power I believe, just not standard offsets.

@Fast-Eddie Just curious about the quality of the decals, etc. Do you think it’ll stay on over time? Thanks!

would love the silver tips for my gts, don't have any black accents and with the silver wheels bet they would look sharp, very interested to hear to how it goes.

Maybe dumb question but is "burnished" the darker silver?
