They are shiny! Kind of goes against the theme I was moving towards (anti-bling) but I'll deal with them

Yep! I am not a fan of shiny. Everything on the car except the struts, calipers, and upper stress bar are either black ceramic coated or satin black powder coated. It will match all the trim and the 968 wing very nicely!

Sweet looking suspension nice and clean I guess I'm going to have to replace my stock Koni's now I'm guessing you are going to let us know how you like the leda's?
How are things progressing? Just about ready to fire mine up as soon as I finish soldering the wide band and gauges.

Sweet, Leda's are great and I've had them in the past. But be prepared to have them rebuilt fairly often.
I didn't know they were in business again.

They are back in business, and from what I've researched and talked to folks (Karl at RE and Chris) their quality has greatly improved. Hopefully I won't have to get them rebuilt often!

300F/500R It is a street driven car and I'm not a fan of teeth falling out! Actually just installed the front struts. Haven't torqued everything down yet, but they are in there!
