Joey set me up with the GT3 front bar and Tarret rear bar. Both with Tarret endlinks.

The feedback from all of you running E-Motion setups really helped. I choked when I first got the quote but after some research it was the right way go. The quality of the sphericals which are made by Aura used is unmatched in anything I have ever used. The tie rod end bearings retail for 450 each.

Love the look with your springs. How's the camber in the rear? Do you believe you'll need dog bones?

After years of being in the local Porsche dealer's ear about wanting this poster, they gave me the original Porsche 991 marketing poster! It's even dark blue metallic, as is my car.

Nice! I'm researching the same, details please?
EDIT: Just read replies, looking forward to a track review.

@The Ox Sure here are the details of what I went with:

Tractive Coilovers from TPC, these also use their DSC Controller https://www.dscsport.com/product/tra...91-rt-package/ The spring rates are from Joey at E-Motion which differs from the rates TPC recommended but I really trust Joey when it comes to setups. Anyone I have spoken to that has driven a car setup at his shop can’t say enough good things about the suspension. The rate changes may take a bit of tweaking in DSC, but that software is really easy to use and very powerful once you understand the concept. TPC does allow you to specify your own rates and will supply a base map for those rates.

The front lower arms, caster rod, rear lower and upper arms, outer lower control arm/lower damper mount are all E-Motion Engineering. Their stuff is not cheap, but it shows, its very very high quality. You will want to mount them on your office wall they look so damn good. They also use Aurora bearings, just look up their raw bearing prices and you can see what you are dealing with here.

Front Sway bar is GT3, and rear is Tarett adjustable with Tarett end links front and rear.

New plugs, APR coil packs and BMC filter since we are already there why not. Also all the lubricant is being replaced with the "Driven" brand of products.

Wheels I went with Forgeline GW3Rs in 20inch

Numeric Shifter, and I will add the cables next when we do the engine work

I’m going by the shop tomorrow afternoon and will take a few pictures of the install.

Once the suspension is dialed in, I will be adding power, Tial M800s, Tial Intercoolers, Vektor headers, Vektor high-flow cats, and custom tune.

I'm currently working in the brake package but will probably go with the soon to be released Hinz Motorsport custom setup with PFC calipers and Surface Transform rotors.

My goal is to have what I always wanted a 600HP REAR drive Manual turbo with GT3+ level of handling. Not something that Porsche offers, unless you want a 992 Sport Classic and I’m not paying the ADM for that car, nor am I playing the GT3 ADM game either. I tried and I'm done with it. I'm building MY 911.

A GTS wide body would have been nice but I couldn't find one without a sunroof, so I went with a high option C2S. It does not have the sport package but has every individual option of the Sport Package other than PSE which is not a deal breaker for me, which a sunroof is.

Thanks. I have '17 Base C2, manual. Softronic Tune, SOUL headers , sport cats, Numeric shifter & cables, GiroDisc Rotors, Pagid Yellow pads, and DCS V3. I've been running on PCA DE , currently in Blue group where things are much faster. I've been exploring these changes, so this really help, I appreciate and look forward to the review.

That's a nice build, a nice suspension upgrade will go a long way for those PCA events or any tracking for that matter. I'm hoping to participate in a few here in South Florida as well.

Thanks, it definitely needs some mods to keep up the solo groups. I like the idea of integrating the suspension with DSC. Your suspension mods look perfect. I highly recommend HPDE, really a blast, great people, and you get to open up your hot rod in a controlled environment.

First purchase for my new to me 2017 targa was aspheric mirrors (driver and passenger) from suncoast parts. Over $1200 but it helps a lot with the targa bar blind spots. Well worth it!

The DSC controller is amazing, while I was waiting for the shop to start on my car, I installed it with the RS map for the stock dampers. I'm coming from MCS 3-ways on my last car and what always annoyed me is one click was too much at times. With DSC I can make .25, .5 changes in velocity and its 6-way adjustable. That's on top of the default ride rates, G-table. braking and acceleration tables. If I could tune the stock dampers to the degree that I have I can't wait to see what the Tractive dampers can do. On top of that you can change the overall damper calibration and response curve. I'm a suspension geek and I love this system.

I could not agree more on HPDE, I tracked heavily from 2012-2017 and had to take a break to take care of my mom. Now that she’s back in South Florida with me its' time to get back on the track and shake off the rust.

A few shots of it half way though the build. The Front end is almost complete. Should be ready next Friday.

Is there any more information you can share about this kit?

How difficult was the install? I've contemplated this upgrade but haven't found info regarding installation.

Unnerving the first time, but very easy.
