I had RRT replace the front 3 radiators and hoses (bought a whole CSF package from FCP Euro) since I had a coolant leak on the passenger side. I also had them throw on Eibach springs and front sway bar that I recently picked up. Boy did it come out nicely and drives great. I consider this stage 2 at this point. Next is the Apex wheels that I'm waiting on in a group buy. I have tires waiting to mount; 325s for the rear! From there, paint correction and ceramic coating. Lastly, I plan on picking up a DSC module and adding PDK tune to my COBB. I'm definitely enjoying the ride!

CSF radiators.

very happy with the results, looks so much better / more modern. i really hated that grey trim and could never unsee that missing patch of carbon.
That looks incredible. Might need to do this.

i had been following MK4 R32s on BaT for a while and often saw your comments on them there. it is a very nice analog driving experience and that engine sound, whew - it's amazing.

this one came with only 71k mi on the clock - on the high side for 997 turbos but much lower than average for an MK4 R32. it has some really terrible cheap coilovers (raceland) so the ride is pretty rough but other than that it is in fantastic condition. it just needs some kw coilovers and it will be perfect..

First DIY oil change and using the new lift. The lift makes this soooo easy. While I had it up I performed a few other simple maintenance items and then installed an Ikon Motorsports from lip (from Amazon). I like the look of the lip vs. the stock lip, but as other have stated, the fitment is not as good as OEM.

It's the single best upgrade for any 911 with PASM in my opinion and I spent a lot of dough on mods.

I have seen so many people rave about them. What makes it so good? My car is lowered on springs so I feel a lot of the road, does the DSC eliminate that?
