I still have the stock suspension on the car... I am 95% sure I will go with KW3's or Bilstein Cup.
Although, a number of years ago I had a Koni Coil-over setup from Paragon and loved it... plus you cant go wrong with the price.

Received my headlight conversion kit from Claude last night... wow!
Not only did it arrive meticulously packaged but the quality of the product is fantastic. Plus the price was a lot less than other kits I have seen.
Just waiting for my rear spoiler to arrive then the car is off the paint shop, cant wait.

Almost got the BF kit installed... its a tricky devil to align and get right. Also needed a few snips of the front to make it fit correctly but shes almost there!
The rest of the body work should be done tomorrow / wed so it can hit the paint booth Thursday... so hopefully its ready Friday.
Patrick, are you getting any flash backs yet? Keep watching this space

How hard is it to get the guards? I know who makes them but i hear to get in contact with them is hard and for them to send you the stuff is another story.

Don't know if the Broadfoot ones being used here are any better quality, but the GT Racing flares are the same design and easy to buy.

I got the rear wing out of the UK... I will try find the name. I chose it because it looks just like the stock 968 wing but its 2" taller and has a more curved deck for higher down force.
No didn't cut the rear guards.
Its all coming together nicely, should be done with the paint tomorrow (I hope). Once the paints done I have to wire the 968 mirrors, install the headlight buckets, install the front splitter and reinstall the RS style door cards I made.
Next will be wheels/tires. After that I will get into the brakes and suspension. Then comes the fun stuff... the POWER!

How are you going to fit your rear wheels? Wider rear tires are going to hit the stock wheel arches when the suspension compresses. You certainly won't be able to lower the car at all. With those types of flares it's normal to cut the original arches up a couple of inches to give you enough clearance for wheel travel.
