Any idea what the ride height is measured at, I'd also be interested to know what alignment spec you went with. Mine goes in for the uprights soon and you might be able to save me a bit of guess work! Sway bar settings as well if you don't mind!
And...wheels studs ordered. http://www.msiracingproducts.com/products.html
These really are the best out there. Run these on my RS and they are in perfect condition after many, many days.
52mm bullnose studs should work great, with their yellow open ended lug nuts.
Where can these studs be purchased from in So Cali? or are they special order directly from the mfg?
You want the porsche single ended studs and the yellow coated nuts (they have pink and black too). They have 4 stock lengths of studs, 3 on their website. I think they have a 60mm too. For my setup the 10.0009 length is perfect front and rear.
Looking at your wheel / offsets and had a quick question. What is the limiting factor on the inside when they are mounted? Do need to be running a coil over with a smaller diameter spring than stock for these to fit? Or would they fit on a car with stock diameter springs? I'm just trying to figure out how many things I need to change at once...
I randomly found this thread during a search and of course I thought of your build.
Thought you would like to see this set up.
Cool thanks!

Rears is very close to the trailing arm and oil lines but no touch.
Fronts not sure on inside. If you have clearance concerns get an 8" wheel w a less agressive offset for front.
Here's my impression: super direct and connected, very firm, but supple, not jarring, car is really planted with a ton of grip. It's interesting how similar and how different it feels from my RS. Just turn and it sets and sticks.
Brakes are insane. Like pull your eyeballs out insane.
Tires need some time on them I always find nt01 a little floaty until they get a couple heat cycles on them. Then they grip hard
Also removed lower dash, radio, and passenger air bag and replaced with rennline parts. That setup had to be 25 lbs.
Car will go in for additional work in a few weeks, then i drive it, i'm holding off on any engine or gearbox mods, car runs really strong, want to do some track days and enjoy it:
I think that is most of it :-) Have most of the parts sitting here, just need to get it to the shop and slot it in, they're finishing some other builds at the moment so probably early march.
Rennline dash parts in. Next week I think I'll get up the energy to start on the rear interior :-) oh and did rennline heater bypass. Need to jump the relay still.
What air cleaner setup are you running? And do ya like it?
I've no idea. It was the only non stock thing on the car. It's a kn filter and some sort of l shaped connection. I'm usually a fan of stock air filters but this does make a nice induction noise. Intake point is similar to the stock filter.
