I have M030 sways so I'm saving RS bars as a future upgrade to look forward to. Otherwise, my suspension is very similar to yours - right down to the OEM RS a-arms and KT arms matched with ER Sport bushings everywhere else.

I assume you did the shock mounts when the Motons were installed previously?

I love the way my car handles (a C2) and I'm sure it feels great in a C4S. I moved from 225 to 235 width tires in front this summer and that improved turn-in and front end grip even further. Something you can look forward to doing in the future as well!

Thanks Matt, we have to go on a drive soon. I want to see that beautiful red car of yours.

I have posted my pull-offs in the classified section, under "Suspension Pull-Off Sale" headings. The exciting stuff is a Brey Krause strut brace, TRG adjustable sway bars front and rear, and rear TRG adjustable drop links. There are other odds and ends posted as well.

Personally, I can't distinguish my TRG adjustable sway bars from my Porsche RS sway bars. I have listed them in the classified section. Take a look and let me know if you are interested in them.

I said goodbye to an old friend today. Thanks to all on this board for your passion, knowledge, and inspiration during my ownership of this spectacular car.

Thanks for being such an awesome custodian of the car. It is going to a great home and will be well cared for.

It's gone already ? ? ? I just had the GT Transmission Re-gear done a few months back on mine. Sorry to hear.

I can't imagine how sad I would be if I got rid of my car. All the best to you and I hope you get another soon.

New owner looks happy. Good luck with you next car, I see you're looking for a 987 spyder. Great choice. Have you seen this one in the classifieds?

https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...er-spyder.html

I know you have said you do not need A/C so this one could be a fit for you, the price seems great.

Just took delivery of this yesterday:



Basalt Black Metallic over Carrera Red natural leather and Alcantara interior. Manual transmission and lightweight buckets. Sport chrono, sport exhaust, sport short shifter, AC, and much more.



Lightweight buckets are awesome!
