New OEM exhaust tips. Found them on EBay for half of list price. The originals are pitted on the edges and wouldn’t clean up.

I really like the stance of the car, how much did you lower with the VTF setup? What’s the ride quality like compared to the stock (did you have PASM or SPASM?). I have CL’s on my GTS so I won’t be able to use spacers, how does the tuck look right now? Is it ok or bad?

I been looking at the H&R and KW adjustable perches, but your the first person that has posted with the H&R setup.

Really appreciate your feed back.

Thanks

And there is a zipper on the fly of your pants as well - it is meant to be a specific position for the intented purpose.

I didn’t take before/after measurements so I can’t really tell you what the exact drop is like. I did use a digital caliper to make sure it was equally dropped on both sides and made sure the front was a hair lower than the rear as it should be.

I do have adjustable damping and can say the ride feel is similar to stock but just a hair stiffer. Nothing I would say you can’t live with as a daily driver on good roads.

They do seem to be slightly tucking and I haven’t done an alignment since the drop so perhaps there’s excessive negative camber there that needs to be corrected.

Bought a Seasucker bike carrier. It uses big suction cups. Will try with a bike today. Put the carrier on last night and was still good this morning. Nice way to occasionally carry a bike without installing a real rack. Also works well for me because I have the sun roof so the suckers are all on glass. Don't plan to carry a bike very often, but nice to have the option.

What if the point of leaving the zipper down isn't to go to the bathroom so much as to advertise?

Each to their own and all, and I'm not judging anybody for how they roll. But I'm more of a form follows function guy, so it never makes sense to me to deploy an active aerodynamic component while the car is motionless. If I wanted to have a full-time winged appearance, I'd get a full-time wing installed.

But again, each to their own.

I bought my 991 a garage companion: a 1998 BMW E36 M3. Car is in rough condition, but I bought it for a project and plan on either restoring it or turning it into a track car. Haven’t decided yet. I’m told I should gut it and use it as a track car, but who knows...
