Congratulations and welcome! Beautiful new ride.

You're right... it can be downright frosty in here...especially from the folks with thousands of posts who are like, I've owned 14 Porsches, BTDT, RTFM, etc. You just have to laugh.

As to the heated seats, I use them every time I'm in the car.

Congratulations! Nice looking car, enjoy!
I have heated seats and only use them in ultra cold weather... but my other half uses them at least once a month "at that time of the month" and just loves them!

Thanks guys!!

DJ23- Per the H&R Springs, I am very pleased with them. I had them installed at Champion about a week after I received the car. I believe the C2S's are a bit lower to start with but I really thought that the reg 997 without PASM was riding very high. I had some reservations such as ride quality and making the car look "slammed". I really wanted to make sure that the car kept its classy look and I didn't want daily driving on less than perfect roads to cause cavity fillings to shake loose. Anyway, the ride quality is very close to stock and in some cases might be even better. The car feels more hunkered down and seems to have less body-roll in corners. Regarding the "look", I feel that it enhances the profile of the car and does not give it a cheesy slammed look. From my perspective, the only negative attribute is that you need to be a bit more careful regarding "dips" when exiting parking lots or steep driveways as the rubber striping under the front of the car tends to rub the pavement more if you don't go slow. In addition be weary of those concrete blocks used at the front of parking spaces as they will definitely cause damage to the front of you car if you pull too far forward (this can at times obviously happen at regular ride height as well). Last thought...make sure you get the car re-aligned after you install the springs.

Thats my take....good luck.

Andrew
