Would like sizes as well.

RonCT

Hmm, I think they are 19x8.5 front and about 20 lbs, 19x11 rear and about 22 lbs? You can find them on Tire Rack (all the data, offsets, close-up photos, etc.). Thanks for the compliments guys.

By the way, took the car out on the road and I couldn't believe the grip and suspension compared with the OEM with either PS2 or RA1 - and I had -1.6 camber up front before. This thing is on rails!

Fantastic job Ron. How are the coil overs in comparison to stock on the street? and track when you return from your weekend?

RonCT

Hmm... Ride is firmer for sure and you can feel much less dive and sway. It's not at all irritating, but you do feel more (ie: expansion joints). I also rub those rubber flaps under the car more than before due to the lowering (the flexible ones that are meant to be scraped).

Tomorrow is Lime Rock and I'll write up a report after that. On the street I'm very happy with the ride now that I've been driving it for a few days.

What are GT3 air ducts?

Ron,

When does that noise occur? is it a low speeds and turning (ie parking).

GT3 air ducts are... air ducts from a GT3 They are designed slightly differently than 997 / 997S ducts, are a quick snap-in change, and only cost something like $40 including shipping from Suncoast. A little better cooling for $40 was a deal.

Yes, the Sproing of the spring releasing from binding up happens actually all the time, but you don't notice it as much when at speed due to road and air noise.

Apart from my compliments for the homework you have done to make your car handle better- and I am sure that with those readings it will be a spectacular ride around the track - may I also offer you congrats on your excellent taste on color combining Cobalt Blue on dark grey wheels!!!
Thhheeehehehehe.

Thanks for the compliments from Athens! The blue, gray, and red calipers do go well together
