Just received new Road and Track Ohlins
Cant wait for the new feel.
Replacing 17YO OEM.
Replacing the Top Hats while I'm there
CW - nice looking kit. Can you provide a ballpark figure on the cost? I will want to replace my suspension in the next year or so. Having adjustable ride-height, is something I would really like.
Which brings me to a very important question, for my needs: Is it possible to increase ride-height above stock, with this kit?
Finally got a decent hand wash, after my front bumper, hood, front panels and rear bumper respray. Still deciding if I should do roof, doors, rear panels or if a paint correction, etc. would work fine. Rocking the Michelin PS2s also, which I'll keep saying are simply fantastic. I cannot wait to hit the track with these compared to the Sumitomos. Not factory fresh but getting close, at least on the exterior! Interior needs some love and few fixes, but it doesn't really bother me much.

I know a great, and not overly expensive, detailer that can correct and apply Kenzo ceramic coating.
He is down near 59 & 610 though.
I run my Michelin Pilot Sport 4S year around.
They're great tires for down here.
In the Houston area, they ARE all-seasons.
The Road and Track kit was about $2700 on sale from Rallysport direct...but shipped direct from Ohlins US
New top hats and bearings all around plus a few new washers were $1100
Don't think you can make it taller than stock infact I think at its tallest setting it maybe be a few mm shorter than stock.

That's too bad. They shouldn't call themselves Rallysport, then.

The car looks great. I can't really see any flaws in those panels in the photos, so it's difficult to have an opinion about what, if anything, should be done. I would definitely not respray them unless there is something awful we can't see. What specific issues do you see in those panels (roof, doors, etc)?

Do his initials happen to be BC? If so, I know exactly who that is, and have used him many times in the past, just haven't gotten my 911 down to him, as it took me almost 1.5 to get my front end resprayed, it really needed it! I plan to visit him before the Porsche Festival event next month, if he can fit me in...
Are you doing the DE event at MSR in December? Not sure if they're running CW or CCW, prefer the latter.
And yes, these tyres are great so far. I drive our Audi A4 when I'm going long distances or when it's really bad weather, so being able to use this car 98% of the year is fantastic!

Yeah, I purposefully didn't take pics of the roof and the rear upper panels to either side of the rear window (whatever you'd call that, sorry can't think of the name exactly), there are some thru the finish scratches that need to be done. When it's clean like this, you really kind of gloss over it but if my detail guy can't get it out, I am considering it. But, it won't really add any value to the car so probably will let it go. The front fender was really peppered, and the hood had some dents from prior owner slamming the frunk when there was too much luggage that popped up, so the parts I notice on the car look really nice now. Headlights need another once-over too.
Flip over function of driver's sunvisor almost froze very difficult to rotate. Open Cab roof off windshield frame, with small screwdriver pop off access plug, Torx 30 socket remove two screws visor comes off, shot of WD-40 into visor arm, then tell the Commander price of new tools less than mechanic charge for repair.
Gas station pump clicks off early difficult to tell if tank full. Break pump hose seal by pulling back on outer hose or rotating nozzle 180 degrees; both allow tank to fully fill then get click but kind of lame.
