Custom arms allow for extra camber, over 4 degrees is possible.

The lightweight shocks are adjustable and save quite a lot of weight.

The discs are 355 MM two piece Brembo items.

Any details/specs on those shocks? And it looks like extra caster built into those upper arms as well?

The arms don't provide extra caster as far as I am aware, The dampers are Leda, this company was based in the UK and went into liquidation a few years ago however there is repairers who still service the dampers in the UK although I am pretty sure a specialist could probably do it locally if required. The save around 10 pounds per corner. The front springs are 600 pound and the rear 250 pounds. Contrary to popular belief the rear rate shouldn't be as high as 400 which is often used.

Above, the F50 Brakes fitted.

Below the rear brakes are 993 twin turbo which I believe were the first ever fitted to a 928 back in 2001.

The callipers are just in a mock up but the disc will be a PFC item 350 mm in diameter. The rear are the 997 twin turbo callipers. PFC specialise in cast iron and the general consensus is they are the best disc in this category being both lighter and more stable in temperature. The also use the V2 mounting system

Its ABS pump inside left front fender between headlamp and wheel. Normal in all cars which has ABS. Usually its hidden behind plastic and don't look that good.

Digging the engine lift bar you have there, is that a factory 9137 tool?
