what was the "all in " price Champion was quoting me me $1,200, including the alignment Seemed kinda steep, since the springs on many websites cost around $400

$1200 to install springs and re-align the car is a good price.

Ryan, there is a guy the DE's at Sebring with a white Cayman that looks like yours. It is lowered too. I have not spoke with him about his car and how it is lowered but it is very nice!

champion's perspective has to be put in context-- the roads in florida are nearly perfect and smooth compared to most of the rest of the country-- particulary in the northeast. also, in florida, unless people are tracking their cars, most people don't encounter enough windy roads (every turn is a 90 degree red light) to put wear/tear on their suspensions. i would imagine premature shock wear has to be proportional to road-surface quality and road dynamics. which explains why fbl (in ct) is so adamant about that issue.

sandwedge - any update on the springs? The more I read the posts, for $1,200, the springs seem like great bang for the buck. I priced out exhausts at $3,000...not sure its worth it. As for the S shifter, I saw too many mixed reviewed on here, so will probably stand pat on that Mod for now. The more I drive this car, the OEM shifter really is quite smooth..I wish I could somehow drive the SSK to compare.
Thanks

As for the SSK, I think you're depriving yourself of more joy by passing on it. Not sure what people bitch about but maybe their's weren't installed right. If you like the OEM shifter why would you like it less with 35% less throw? That's exactly how mine is operating. Just like the OEM but shorter, crisper and more precise. Paid Eric at bumperplugs $199 for the kit and then $200 to Suncoast to install it RIGHT. A bargain and my favorite mod so far next to the Tubi.

Thanks sandwedge I needed the kick in teh ****, and will order the SSK now ha Plus, eric is having a sale today, so can save on the shipping.
As for the springs, I hear ya that it looks better, and 100% agree I am slightly concerned about the interactions with the PASM system, however, as it makes me nervous that it is an electronic set-up, and I dont want to screw it up by changing the springs.

I'll report back after I get an explanation to what's going on.
