What did you do to your 996TT today?

Why do you want to get rid of your PSS10's. I've found them to be one of the best street/light track coilovers around. To get better performance means spending a ton more, no offense to Feal, but I think they're a downgrade compared to what you already have.
Must be a heck of a warranty if they might pay for your fluid?! As long as fluids are "factory approved" that's all that matters and you'll never need to prove it. LIke 11S becoming CH202. But I have two cars that share G12 or G13, and they both have expansion tanks that have puked fluid before, so I get it!

+1 on this, I have never found the upper limits of this set up, and when I removed the front axle, I tightened up the front and they track great.

Agreed, I happily tracked mine for several seasons. Only upgraded because I found a lightly used set of MCS coilovers locally.
Any real upgrade will mostly be for track performance and will be something super expensive like MCS, Penske, JRZ, etc

so are you building a race car? If not, your coilovers aren’t a weak link.
if you’re building a track car, then you’re going to pick a setup like the jrz’s or penskes or mcs.

I agree on them being great, the thing I like about Feal is their customization and upgrade capabilities without the need to buy a whole new setup. By no means is this cheap but it’s nice support. The PSS10s don’t have that. I don’t want to make the same mistake I made on my GTR where my coilovers became the leak link. Not an apples to apples there since I went from KWs to JZRs and it was huge.
I wondered why you mentioned a "receipt and fluid"? All good. As to the engine bay at least we can get to "some" stuff! First time I opened the decklid on a 992 I said. Ok, oil and what's the other fill? Check - and not much else. I never had occasion to peek under that plastic cowl covering the motor!
That 992 "engine" bay is nuts. Might as well seal up the decklid. Crazy to have to take the bumper off to change the air filter (I believe).
No worries. I DIY all of my maintenance on our 3 vehicles but the other 2 are inexpensive compared to a new Porsche where documentation is key. My Turbo came with a good bit of receipts and I didn't really see anything before 50k miles.

I completely agree, the way they're building these cars these days is ridiculous. They make basic maintenance such a chore and so expensive it's like they're trying to screw you over repeatedly.

My first oil change on the 991 was $660CDN and took them three hours...
On the 992 Carreras the filter is now accessed by removing just the rear wheel liner. Not sure about the 992TTs.

That does suck but the purchasers may be too accepting. The last 2 PCA meets I went to it was more people talking about their CPO details than actual car talk. And no one stands near their cars. Odd. I got some strange looks when I said I did the front diff and tranny fluid myself.
