Default Cayman S Suspension

A friend's wife contacted me asking what she could give her husband for Christmas. He has an 06 Cayman S and the only mod is GT3 front lower control arms. I suggested sway bars but I'm strictly 911 so not sure what to recommend.

Budget is @ $ 600.

Any ideas?

Not that I'm condoning speeding but a radar detector is always useful.

Other Options:
Nice Car Cover
Detailing Products
If not into detailing, maybe have the car professionally detailed

1. Short shift kit
2. GT3 ducts
3. Clear turn signals
4. MP3 integration
5. Floor mats

Most of the good stuff is over $600....

Since the car has GT3 LCAs I'm thinking it must be tracked. That said, sway bars would be a logical next step but the $600 budget won't get a complete set. Check Suncoast for a Tarett rear bar, GT3 front bar, and Tarett drop links. Another idea would be track brake pads. I like PFC 06 compound. A set for these for front and rear would be within budget.

The book may be the safest suggestion as one does not know what the husband has already added on the quiet.

Actually it can be done for $600.

He can upgrade the the Tarrett 26.8mm (GT3 spec) front sway bar for $350 from Tarett and OEM Porsche Cayman R 19.8mm rear sway bar for $140 from Suncoast.
