Looking at KW and Bilstein options. Guess CR suspension might be an option. Also have ordered Aasco flywheel and Sachs sports clutch. Lightweight Braille battery.
221s are a great tyre, although limited to Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Or at least I thought. Have they ventured outside those markets? I ask as some sizes are not stocked locally in NZ.

I was able to order from here

The 265 is a bit squeezed onto 18x8.5 front wheel but works.

I can only see 235 and 295 listed in the 18" size.

That's the size that used to be available in NZ then went NLA. My absolute favourite track tyre. I have sets of 17" for my 964 and want a set for my Cayman R.

Looking at Tarret GT bars and end links with H&R sport springs as a compromise to going to PSS9.

Hey Grant,

Would you mind posting a couple more pictures of the NT03's? on your car?

New Cayman Owner here as well, 2011 S just picked her up a couple weeks ago.
