Suspension parts on the way!
Found out at tech inspection for an upcoming DE event that my RF lower control is going out and my rear shocks need replaced. I had been debating how far down the slippery slope to go; I didn't want to go as far towards it being a track oriented car as I had done to my 993.
So I settled on this:
Elephant racing adjustable LCA and camber plates
Bilstein Damptronic, so I can keep the PASM
DSC Sport V1 PASM controller
H&R Springs, (the Vogtland springs were back ordered to Germany)
I debated about getting the DSC Tractive shocks, but wasn't ready to bend over another $8k on this upgrade.
I'll do adjustable sway bars and end links later. I need to find ones that I like that also have sealed bearings on the end links.
Thoughts on my choices, what would you do (did you do)?

Were your rear shocks leaking so they needed to be replaced? How many miles and how many track days?
Have fun with with your new set up. Are you going to keep the same height?

997.1 C2S

My rears were discovered leaking at 91K miles...... However I was getting nauseating rolling on I95 in NJ for many miles before that..... I had to put PASM in sport to smooth the car out..... didn't realize I had leaks. I wonder if this is a weakness of the newer 997.2s.

I'm not sure what the tech saw, I assumed they were leaking. Car has about 75k miles.
I've only had it a few months, one two-day track event. Nothing like the track to find the weak spots!
The springs will drop me 1.2".

I've been sliding down this slope for a couple years.
Third radiator and bumper grills were first
Track wheels and Nitto NT01s came next which prompted -
LN Engineering deep sump oil pan and GT3 Lower Control Arms
Inbound I have:
DAS Sport Bolt In Roll bar arriving Friday and on the wait list for powder coating at a local shop
Recaro Pole Positions from a friend and $800 worth of mounting hardware - yikes!
Schroth Profi II 6 harnesses arrived yesterday
In the process of ordering:
Wilwood hitch and trailer to transport track wheels and beer cooler
Next will be suspension...thinking MCS.
Slippery slope engaged.
Did I mention I started a track day business? Yes, I'm addicted.

I'm with you bud, that is about my list.
The DSC module came today. Pretty easy installation.
It will be interesting to see what it does to my weakened shocks this weekend at the track.
I had Pole Positions in my 993, great on the track, but my shoulders paid the price if I had to drive more than a couple of hours in them. Trips to Miller or Hastings from Colorado were uncomfortable.
