Yes, there was an outfit selling HR 996 springs on ebay a couple of months ago for 199, granted not fora C4S and probably a flakey seller. I'll shoot you the link ,Vic if you want.

I have a feeling Vivid's going to take care of me on this one... - ;-)

Chris, will give you a buzz tomorrow - if you're free this coming Saturday (morning), would love to check out the ride.

Best,
Vik.

Chris -

The boys at RPM indicated they don't do gauges - any recommendations on local shops that can a high-quality install?

Not sure about that one, there are a couple of diy on renntech. Maybe the dealer, if you buy the parts from them.

Are the H&Rs for the 996 progressive like they are for most other cars? If so, do you *really* think a progressive aftermarket spring is going to handle better than an oem straight-rate sport spring?

For the springs - go with Dan - For the gauges, go with bumperplugs, I installed the gauges last week, easy, quick and bumperplugs have the best price. As fas as Dan is concern, he is 1st rate and that my friend is not easy to find in this market. Best of luck
