150 miles on the new set up in a variety of different road conditions and I still think it rides noticeably better than before.
Adjusted the tire pressure to 37F and 42R and that also could be helping. I think from the dealer the Goodyear’s were at something ridiculous like 48 psi in back. I’m sure I could lower pressure a bit more and get an even better ride.
But it’s for sure an improvement in ride quality which was unexpected.
I think the KW’s are great. Didn’t need to lower much at all from factory height especially in the rear and better rubber all contribute.
I did TechArt HAS and also did HREs in 21/22 with same tires. I’ve done about 1k miles since the modifications and it rides amazingly well. I agree on tire pressures too. I went with HRE R101LW in “brushed champagne” on Agate. Don’t want to steal the thunder of your thread so I won’t post pics, your car looks awesome great spec all around. Congrats. Where in CA are you? I’m in San Diego, would love to get these two together if you aren’t far...

Oh man that sounds like a killer set up!!
Definitely post pics. No pride of ownership on this thread!
I'm unfortunately up in NorCal, but picked up the car from Porsche of the SouthBay who were easy to work with.
Thanks! Btw, I noticed you have a stage 2 991tt.
I started with that with my pervious car and ended up at a stage 4 with meth.
Sam really knows how to tune these cars. It was a daily driver and despite all the performance upgrades was bulletproof for daily use which is insane.
My car was running close to 800 to the wheels and would hold it's own vs the 720S.

Thanks - Sam is great to work with. I have worked with him on all my mods. I have resisted going completely bonkers on power as I wonder how much more power I can even use on the street. But every 6 months I get restless. I may be giving Sam a call over the summer. But what amazes me is how solid the car has been. I hope I dont jinx myself. Last round of changes included my HRE wheels, new tires and the DSC controller - a big improvement. Enjoy your new ride - looks really good.
Looks great! I just did Techart HAS and HRE's on my chalk Turbo and it sits maybe a tad lower. I have the front all the way
down. The back has room to go.

It's getting aligned now and picking it up soon. So the car is dirty as are the tires but you can get the idea.
I was really tempted to go with a finish like yours but it was such a crap shoot on the contrast as you talked about.
I think yours came out really nice though!
