Default Round 1 Mods...Thanks FD Motorsports

A little late in getting pics together (sorry Darin) but here we go...

Installed PSS 10's, M030 sways, Stage III mufflers, and ceramic coated wide ovals sourced from FD...great price and service.
P-dealer installed the above plus full 30K service, changed ALL fluids, installed new tires and aligned and corner balanced. Wow! Car is like on rails now and sounds insane. Car sits at ROW Sport height and PSS 10's currently are set at 4front 5 rear.

Of course the slippery slope continues...round 2 will include golden rod/short shift kit.

Thanks to all for the comments on what updates/mods you have done...really helps sort through all of the options out there.

I'm pretty much doing the same thing...shortly. My Stage II's are on their way from Darin right now! Must gather everything up for the big service.

Car looks great, I love the stance. Maybe its the angle of the road in the first picture but it looks lower than ROW sport. Something in between RS and ROW Sport? We'll have to coordinate a gathering because I can't wait to hear those III's.

If you don't mind, could you send me a PM on which p-dealer you used?

Thanks,

Jon

I agree that lpoos lower than ROW sport. Mine is ROW sport -10 and yours looks lower (and great!). As long as it handles well with no bumpsteer or anything, you are good I guess. Beautiful car!

I have not personally measured the height yet but no bumpster so happy to drive as is for now.

Let me know when you want to try and schedule a meet. Might suggest a Friday night and then walk down to the music in Louisville. CJ Chenier June 10 or Little Feat June 17 would be great.

PM sent

Not sure is what on the tail...I did track down an aftermarket euro part that looked the same but did not keep the info...P-dealer wanted too much to remove at the moment....hopefully will keep the car long enough to do a respray in a few years and take it off...it's never perfect (for you)

beautiful..I think I just soiled my pajama bottoms!

get a picture of that rear thingy were talking about please...just curious.

Man, always been a sucker for a GR 911

+993 on the new motor mounts. I went with Wevo's. Don't forget the Walrod front control arm bushings too...if you think the car is on rails now, just wait.

Looks awesome. Congrats. I agree with the other comments... Much lower than row sport. Mine was supposed to be rs+10 but they screwed up and its at row sport. Yours is a good 1/2 lower than that. Looks great though!
