Oil change and 10mm spacers in the rear. Now the height/track is perfect (to me).

Sent to garage to fit in the stuff I bought months ago - OZ alleggerita wheels, H&M sway bars and IPD Plenum.

Scratching my head now on what control arms to replace. I was told TRW the best but found they no longer supply due to possible legal issue. I am thinking about ESP but could not find adequate reviews. Also heard Meyle a good replacement. Any comment is welcome.

Thanks.

Are those any good? I have bad experiences with similar "low" budget parts. The quality of the rubber is especially poor. Would you put these on your own car I guess is what I'm asking....

I would use them on my car.
They are the OEM supplier for Maserati and Lamborghini, I don't know if that's good or bad. Lol

It was last week, but I had an AWE Tuning exhaust installed by my local independent shop. Woweee wow WOW!

It's how the 996tt should sound. There was a noticeable increase in throttle response and turbo spool, which was nice. Much crisper now. The reduced weight is certainly nice.

Cosmetic upgrade fun! Had seatbacks painted to match PTS Signal Yellow and installed DB carbon doorhandles.
