Feal is CA based and their lower end stuff might not be usa made. I'm rambling...and I'm not budgeting for coilovers this year dangit. Must resist. I have Eibach sway bars and drop links font and rear to install, it will keep me busy for a bit.
Luckily, my stock b4s are new on the rear, I had them done, and looking at the front, all the bits are in good shape and the struts are new. Certainly not original but look good. I don't track and don't even like to speed, but I do like the revs ..

There's a remarkable amount of Porsche specialist love in FL.
HPD for example - https://www.hpdwheels.com/.
Silvers (Fort Myers, FL 33916) - https://silvers-na.com/pages/about
Flat6 - https://flat6motorsports.com/pages/about-us-1
And literally dozens more manufacturers, maybe even hundreds of others.
And then the holy grail the revs institute https://revsinstitute.org/

I guess Sebring and Daytona might have something to do with it. Or just tax benefits make it attractive. Not to mention the weather . It's a good place to own a sportscar. Anywhere is a good place to own a sportscar. Well, with roads. Unless you have a Safari.
Yup you can also race all year long... don't forget about Homestead Motor Speedway and now the Miami Grand Prix.

Default 408 Wheels

I finally got around to replaced the HRE wheels with OEM 408 Wheels on my 2000 cab, cleaning was just PITA with those HRE wheels, but are lighter than the 408 hollow turbo look wheels. What y'all think?
If anyone interested in those HRE rims, let me know.

The turbos look great, what are the specs on the HREs?

Are your twists 8 inches wide in the front and if so have you noticed any difference over the 8.5 fronts? Did you require a different alignment?
