Beefed up the springs, front camber plates, GT3 RS lower control arms.
Went to the track over the weekend and the rear end is a "little" twitchy with the new mods. Going to dig out the rear factory sway bar and see if it helps.

While the plugs were out for changing I did a compression check. Just recently purchase the car and want to check for anything obviously wrong. This was done with the engine cold, all plugs and coils removed, and fuel pump fuse C4 pulled. No need to open the throttle since the intercooler was removed for the plug change. All cylinder readings were around 220 psi with 112,000 miles on the car.

I don't want to damage the car. Not worth it.
All ended well and the deal was struck. The other party and I agreed we should have thrown our attorneys out the window. We had agreed on the business terms in the first hour and the other nine hours was attorneys arguing over whether happy was a better word than glad.
They were having a contest to see who could write the most convoluted non-sensical sentence.

Anyway,if you got around 220 PSI during a dry compression test,it sounds you have a strong engine. Those are diesel compression numbers.
