HA Ha. I thought my very practical reply to your theoretical response was very respectfully written and was not personal or critical. I just disagree based on my experience in the industry. But, as Socrates says, when the argument is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.
What experience in the industry? Please share. As far as "professional and respectful" you can't claim that when your response attempts to insult the expertise of someone and degrading it to a tire shop mechanic. That does not come out very respectful and professional. Immature? absolutely.
At some point in your life, you should consider learning and listening to others. That's where true wisdom comes from. Not from TikTok as quoted above
I stand behind decades of automotive engineering expertise. If you want to treat a 911 like a '92 Camry, go for it. It does match your little man personality.
I honestly don't know yet truthfully; 1). I haven't got the pads on yet and 2). I haven't tracked it obviously based on the foregoing. This is all new territory for me but once I do get the chance to run them on the street and track I'll let you know. I read this article amongst others, and decided on the FCP 2500's which I didn't purchase from Essex but from FCP Euro (substantially cheaper than Essex). https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog...-upgrade-guide
Guessing you mean DS2500 and not FCP 2500?
I'm just another random guy on the internet (and most my decisions are bad ones!), but if you're running a stock braking setup, my guess is you are going to overheat those pads PDQ. Even with a cooler setup, I'd run DS3000 over that 2500 if I liked stopping.
That's just my experience, anyway. The car I ran them on was heavier than a 911 and had more power, but I'd imagine sticky rubber on any car except maybe a Miata will overwhelm that compound, or at the very least have them outside their optimal temp range.

Ha ha. I am sorry my reply upset you to the point of a rant. That was not my intent. How dare I compare the experience of tire shop mechanic to an engineer who went to college? A little arrogant and narcissitic, are we? Well, Rennlist forum = differing opinions. As you can see, others here agree with my opinion on this matter ......as well as many others no doubt agree with yours. That is Rennlist. If differing opinions get you that worked up to the point of immature, play ground, name calling, well, you might want to re-assess whether that is normal behavior for a person your age, sir. Socrates might be correct, after all. Best wishes. Hope the rest of your day goes better for you!. The GY's on the front will be just fine for BlueHighways trips to WalMart.

Little strong in your criticisms and I might add, not entirely warranted. I'd suggest you take your personal quibbles off this forum and private message your target.
I did disable mine. I think a) it looks better not coming up and b) it's just a bit much aero for what you need. You will not do any wheelies but can imagine its a bit unbalanced. Drive it at high speed though (slowly accelerating until you get a feel for it) and see. I keep my OEM Aero down and to compensate a little for the loss of air flow to the intercoolers I added the APR ducts. With aero down and at 90F outside I did a few hard accelerations and measured my IAT's and it never came close to knock threshold. So, I feel good about it. Maybe if you race it may get hot enough for the ECU to pull back but I have not seen it in my tests.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll look into those apr ducts. How did you disable the wing? Did you take it to Porsche to have them do it? Thanks

I don't think the APR ducts are a must but sure does not hurt and a little helper. I did not take it to Porsche and took my custom shop some time to figure out how to disable it. Ended up setting the wing lift heights all to zero (like make it move from 0 to 0) and then disabled the warning that still comes up at the dash when the aero does not go up at 75mph.
Yes, it took a while before I started having battery issues. I got my 992 in July 2020. Drove it consistently since then (~7K miles total now), didn't have any battery issues until this year, Sep 30 and again Dec 1.
I bought a new $920 AGM battery today for my 2020 C2S. It's at the dealer for the ~4y annual service. It died yesterday while waiting for the wash after they finished working on it. Today they determined the battery can't hold sufficient power even after a deep charge. Because of my infrequent driving I've been using the Porsche battery tender since December 2023, after my 2 dead battery issues, but apparently the first 3.5y without the tender and with very low driving was enough to damage my battery. My battery is not covered under warranty due to insufficient mileage for battery replacement (I only have 7100 miles right now). On the plus side at least it died while it was still at the dealer where they can fix it.
PSA - If you drive your 992 very infrequently, get a battery tender.

With my 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera T in the glovebox there was a PSA included in the manual leather pouch which now explain the limitations on battery warranty if you don’t drive your Porsche enough. It’s exactly as you stated and they reminder you and recommend to purchase the Porsche battery tender…. They also explain you only get a warranty should you drive sufficient miles per year. I guess its such a problem that they now have to include this PSA in the same pouch as the manual in the glovebox…
