Even he commented that these things are surgical instruments right from the factory (and he races 997's - go to http://www.teamseattle.com to see his car). I asked him if there was any mods I should consider and they were all based on saving weight and gaining power. He said the brakes, steering, short shifter and suspension are perfect and don't need a thing.

Well on the track a roof would absolutely make it better, in terms of stiffness and being lighter too.

I found, too, that factory suspension settings ultimately result in the best handling. With your lowered settings sharkey, are you still able to kick in the PSM, or is that given up with that mod?
Absolutely Dan. It still works just the same with PASM. Further down the line Bilstein will have their PSS9 kit available for PASM cars as well with a plug-in harness.
