Went and got the car inspected this morning and a quick drive.

Someone is looking for a busted beak.....I do however admire the marksmanship. Bombs Away!

What are the plug and play options for improving the brakes on a 2005 997.1 Carrera 2?

2008 C4 - swapped in "S" knuckles and "S" calipers (powdercoated black and rebuilt) and turbo 350mm rotors.
TechArt lowering springs and Bilstein B6 Damptronic shocks and a stand alone DSC shock controller.
Tarret adjustable front and OEM GT3 adjustable rear swaybars.

Wasn't too crazy wiring it in, but after a test drive it took me almost 6 hours to track an "open damper" fault to a bent pin the in the connector (I only disconnected it once, once too many I guess). Turns out default mode is full hard which isn't too great !
Drives nice now though.

Only disppointment is the TechArt springs only dropped me 1/4" up front (26.75" -> 26.5" fender height). Was expecting a full inch. Dropped 3/4" in the rear.

A little over $100 bucks. Took a bit to arrive (from suncoast) so maybe see if your dealer has it first, maybe faster.

Fit my 997.2 just fine, just reuse your old gasket instead of the one they provide you, which is meant for a recessed hood.

Joined about 50 others cars for a KCRPCA summer drive. It's about as good a drive as you can get around these cornfields without going to CO or the Ozarks.

The real excitement starts next Saturday when I drop it off at Slakker Racing in OKC for a 3.8-->4.1 rebuild.
