Thanks asofine. No work has been required, at least not so far. I changed to European sport suspension (Bilstein 10s, stabilizers, ...) as soon as I took delivery, which made it far more fun and much closer to my 10-yrs younger 997 C4S. BTW, the 997 is a factory built permanent sport suspension, which continues to be my favorite set up. It's amazing how different the two cars are though. The 2007 feels lighter, and more direct in the mountains, and I wonder if that's due to the PCCBs.

I'll come back with picks of both.
