Interested in your impressions. Added this to my GT4 and it transformed the ride quality. I don’t feel it’s “required” in my 991 as it was in the GT4 to fix a completely overdamped setup, but if it smooths out the high frequency bumps then I may get another one.

Default Antigravity Battery

Antigravity battery. Unreal lightness. Can lift it with a single finger. Easiest weight savings mod ever. Plug-N-Play.

Bought a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for my 2019 Targa 4S.
305/30/zr20
245/35/zr20
All with Discount Tire road hazard certs.
$1725.

Is that a respectable price?

How much of a difference do they make? I have the Burmeister in mine but feel like it only sounds good when I have the volume turned way up.

They are en route now. Honestly - I don't think I'd change the Burmester if I were you. These are "better" than Burmester but I don't think in this car it would be worth the upgrade. The Bose system on the other hand is pretty terrible and the upgrade is a big enough leap that it makes sense; for me.

I think most cost effective upgrade would be: Musicar tweeters + dynamat Xtreme door kits. it'll improve sound quality quite nicely.

I know the door kit makes a big difference but my FVD headers and iPE exhaust is my primary sound track Just don't want the stereo to suck as badly as it does now and am adverse to anything that adds weight or removing of panels that would risk my squeak and rattle free car.

my new (to me) set of Volk TE37's arrived on monday and spacers came in yesterday! Can't wait to the set on hopefully later today or if not, then friday. Will post pics in another thread to show wheel/tire fitment. They're just typical specs (19x8.5 +52, 19x11 +63) but will have 8/10 spacers on it. Hopefully itll help others searching for wheel fitments like it did for me when i spent hourssssssss researching specs lol

P.S. - excellent condition 20-in Carrera Classic wheels with TPMS and tires will be for sale! hahah
