Finally have my suspension setup dialed and feeling super planted, the guys at HG performance got the alignment and damper settings in that sweet range. After I installed my JRZ pro3s I just couldn’t get it to my liking. A new full set of RSS mono ball arms and an alignment at HG totally did the trick. I’m so happy with the car now finally! Honestly I had not been to happy with the cars handling and feel since I bought it, this is what I was looking for 100%, the RSS stuff is very nice.
Today was the day I faced my fears. I removed the 10+ year old yellow PPF from the front of the car. No steam, no heat gun just good luck I guess. It was a hot and muggy day down here in Miami so I said screw it, started with the mirrors and when I saw that came off easily I knew the rest had to go! The front bumper I did not touch as I plan to go aerokit front bumper in the near future so I did not want to push my luck and end up peeling paint!

Over the winter I Installed B16 Damptronic coilovers with the DSC in my 997.2 C4S Six-Speed Cabriolet. Its lowered about one inch. The mounts and arms are all OEM.
I really like the way the car handles and drives. But, I want to love the handling, so I've decided I need it corner balanced and set up with a more aggressive alignment.
What are the important suspension components to upgrade to facilitate a performance shop making the necessary adjustments? I will not be driving the car that hard, I want it to handle rural roads with speed and comfortable precision.
In your learned opinions, what do you suggest as the next steps for my suspension project?

Thank you in advance
You may get more traction making a dedicated thread for your questions. But just off the limited info provided, you'll need at minimum adjustable end links on all 4 corners for any shop to take on corner balancing (any that I'd trust anyway). In addition, you may want to consider adjustable rear toe links as the stock adjustment in the rear can be limiting once you lower you car and are chasing toe in the 0.08 in the rear. Depending on the specs you're after, you may also consider adding adjustable LCAs (like gt3 arms or the aftermarket equiv) to get into the camber specs you're after.
Adjustable end links and swaybars would make a huge difference if you put those on when you get an alignment and corner balance (I would recommend these ones from TPC) . After that, i would say the next step would be adjustable LCAs. I am not affiliated with TPC but the set up would then be what TPC recommends on a budget less than the Tractive Coilovers. This would be a really nice set up.
oh, one other comment is that the few shops I have had suspension work done at like their specific products. I am not saying the shop products necessarily but I went to one shop that only wanted to work with certain brands (namely KW). Later on, when I wanted to go through and redo/upgrade a lot of the suspension, the shop there only really wanted to work with Ohlins... With my 911, The shop that did my suspension wasn't stoked I brought my own Eibach swaybars and endlinks, they really only wanted to work with a certain brand... So, you might want to ask the shop where you intend to get the work done, especially for things like top mounts/camber plates/top hats...whatever...
Keep us updated, I am interested on where you go with your project!
