Mobonic's new suspension build
So after going back and forth I decided on a new suspension:
Shocks: JRZ RS Pro
Springs: Eibach Race Springs
Front Sway Bars: RSS
Rear Sway Bars: RSS
Drop Links: RSS
Rear Toe Links: ERP
Mirage International in San Diego is doing the complete blueprint, build, and set up. Mirage sets up most of the Porsche's that compete in POC & PCA club racing. Without him or his set up expertise, this build would not be possible.
As anyone that has gotten a adjustable suspension knows that no matter how good of a suspension you get... its worthless without the correct set up. Thats why I went with Jae @ Mirage International in San Diego.
First off I have to say the the customer service we received from JRZ was second to none. They always answered all of my question and service and support was awesome, before I even purchased anything of theirs!
Bryan and Mike at RSS were also great and I have to say their customer service was better than any other aftermarket supplier. Always return phone calls right away and ship products out same day.
Pics of the Build:
Stock PASM Suspension
Stock Mounts
Stock Droplink vs RSS Droplink
Jae from MIRAGE INTERNATIONAL hard at work
Out with the Old - No suspension
In with the new!
Solid top mounts

Congrat's on your new suspension! I woulld love to do something like this but I use my car on the street a lot too.
How in the heck do you keep those red calipers from turning dark red and the Porsche white lettering from turning yellow?

Oh trust me mine are clean...very clean. What I am getting at is the heat turns the red calipers darker red and the white Porsche lettering starts to turn tan/yellowish. My 07 calipers were dark marron and the Porsche lettering turns brown!
Sebring is a high braking track with straights into tight corners. I find that is I let my pads get below 50% the heat build up turns the calipers dark red. So...now I have sets of 1/2 used Pagid RS29 Yellows sitting on my shelf. I will probably just say F it one days and use them up and heck with ugly calipers.

Just got the car back!!!!
I have to say that the ride quality is excellent!!!
I was scared it would be harsh with the 650/850 spring set up... but on the freeway and smooth roods is even better than stock..
the one place you fee the stiffness is on local bad road... then it its bumpy.. but other than that its fantastic.
JRZ really makes a awesome product!! Customer for life!

Got the call this morning from Jae @ Mirage International "She's ready!"
I have to say, Jae did an amazing job installing the suspension, roll bar, and seat.
The ride height is perfect!
Be the judge yourself!
