@Steve 911 Your video was fantastic. I followed it exactly and it went smoothly. Took about two hours for the first one, then about 45min for the subsequent corners once I got more comfortable.

Thanks to Josh at @Meraki Autoworks for getting me the best price in the USA for the coilovers. Great service! Support your Rennlist sponsors everyone!

Once everything was in, I put each corner under load with the jack (car was on jack stands) and torqued up to spec. Zero creaks, groans or knocks from the suspension so far, a little bit more NVH in the cabin but this is strictly my fun car as I ride my bicycle to work.

The Foxwell NT530 made coding out the PASM straightforward, no errors on start-up.

Went and got the alignment today, I am really impressed with how the car rides. It was only a few miles there and back, but a few freeway interchanges and on-ramps. Looking forward to playing a bit more with the stiffness settings and perhaps height. The wheels are tucked in a bit now so I will get them back to flush with some spacers. Already have a stud conversion done.

Next up, possibly Numeric shifter, cables and gearbox oil change. Also considering replacing water-pump and coolant expansion tank for preventative maintenance coming into summer.

Install went great and took it out for a test drive and everything seems good. I'll drive it around for a couple of miles to let the coilovers settle in before I take it to a wheel alignment shop. Also, I was able to disable the PASM error using the Foxwell NT510

As for coding out the PASM, I did the following (similar to what is mentioned here AWE Tuning PASM Delete)

Differs slightly on the Foxwell:

Keys in ignition, set to 'on' so all dash lights and warning lights are on.

Main Menu>Porsche>Smart VIN>Programming>Gateway Control System>Codings adaptations>Required control unit lists>PASM

I then selected "Installed" and changed to "Not Installed". Saved this setting.

Exited out of the menus, shut off the car, and then unplugged the PASM unit.

There was no need to do a vehicle handoff that is mentioned in the AWE tuning document.

I've secured all the wiring in the car so that should I want to, the reverse can be done to go back to OEM.



Hope this helps.

@Rgarcia Josh was able to match the best advertised price I could find. I paid $1289 with tax, rear extenders, and shipping all included. Great deal!
