After having the car for almost 2 months, I knew it had the potential to feel great, but the fact was it was squirrely in the turns. The Pilot Sports looked ok when I bought it, but they must have been heat cycled and were toast. So, on went new AD07s, and yesterday the rear toe links and monoball rear shock mounts went on. My tech, Tom Dietsch of Flemington Porsche (an *ace*) told me that the toe links provided a lot more adjustability and that he was able to get the rear toe right into the zone, unlike previously because the car is lowered a bit.

My initial impression is that the steering feels much more dialed in, and that the car responds much more positively when turning in than before. Really looking forward to getting onto the track (Pocono) this weekend.

Thanks Dave...your advice was spot on. The car really feels transformed and while I plan on having healthy respect for it, my confidence level will be higher now.

Yeah, normally I am not a foot guy, but this toe is awesome.
