Installed Elephant Racing offset camber plates, Bumpsteer kit, FF Transmission insert and PowerGrid adjustable swaybar end links to complement by B16's.
Also had my power steering plus coded out.

Then re-aligned, corner balanced and tuned out swaybar pre-load.
Overall, pretty transformative.

Front feels like it has absolutely zero slop. Very accurate, tight and responsive.
The transmission mount was also a nice surprise, cleaned up my shifts even more... with the Numeric Shifter / Cables, its on par with my old S2K's.

Next up is Essex/AP J'hooks (350/350mm) and probably wheels.
Theres also a GT2 Bucket(drivers side) in the Marketplace that im eyeing...

Any particular reason for your choice of drop links? My car is lowered, also have a couple of Elephant racing components (adjust LCA, thrust arms, coil over conv kit) and was considering getting their drop links and bump steer rod ends. I’m also running around 1” extra track up front and 50% stiffer. I love how sharp my car handles but it can get unsettled under really hard cornering on bumpy CA roads, I’m thinking maybe a combination of preload and bump steer from lowering.

PM me if you prefer to take offline, but I would really like to get specific feed back on those two items.

Thanks

I chose the PowerGrid droplinks based on feedback from this forum and a friend of mine running them.
They seem to be super, super durable even with thousands of miles. OEM Quality and cheaper than the Elephants (which are $330 front, $330 rear).

These are $319 front, $169 rear:

These came today!
Rennline fire extinguisher mount along with a black Clean Agent 2.5lb extinguisher.
Also got my Augment Racing Titanium lug nuts. They're so light they feel like plastic! I ordered the MSI wheels studs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I ran titanium lug nuts on my BMW for over 10 years without any issues at all.

Turns out that it was about $2,000 on the nose at my independent shop.

I was quoted $2700 by my Porsche dealer service shop in the Midwest. Tempting, but my 450HP 2017 C2S Endurance Racing Edition with X51 PowerKit has more than a year Porsche new car warranty remaining, And that price seems high to me. And they said it would likely void my Porsche drivetrain warranty, but they would gladly offer me an after-market warranty on that. At an additional cost, of course!

DSC Sport Controller v3. Wel, I bought it, but it's backordered so I'll probably only see it sometime in the 2nd half of April.

How hard is it to pop that gauge out? The lighting on mine is dim at nite. Not sure I want the dealer to take my dash apart if that's what's required.

Easy...google and you find youtubers that have done these jobs and made DIY videos. Just make sure you have the right tools.

Mine came out easier than his.
