Default 996 AS- MCS doubles or triples

Is it worth the extra $1500 to get triple adjustable MCS over the double adj remotes? I have to remove one adjustment on the triple before the event to remain AS legal, correct?

Yep, you're limited to two external adjustments in Street, so if you bought triples you'd need to disable one of the adjustments. How you do so isn't stipulated in the rule book -- I want to say that in the past it's been done as simply as by caulking over the adjuster.

I went back and re-read and it does say "permanently disabled" and the examples they give are grinding or epoxy. Not worth the extra money for what will essentially be a one-time adjustment.

Problem I'm having now with ordering MCS doubles is getting the front struts with perches that will work with the stock springs.

How's it going with the stock spring project? IIRC, Lex sent you some spring perches to help in this venture.

I did receive the perches, thanks so much! The holdup now is that none of my local porsche friends had some take-off struts for me to hack up. I did the Ft Myers Pro Solo this past weekend and have Dixie Tour this upcoming weekend, so the project is on a bit of a hold until I'm done with those events.

I'll keep an eye out for a set for you. Good luck at the Dixie Tour this weekend!

Thanks! I intend to pick the project back up as soon as Dixie is done.

In an unexpected development, another rennlister has provided me a great deal on some lightly used MCS triples. So, this project will be kicked into overdrive. Sadly I'll have to disable the third adjustment, but it was a deal I couldn't pass on.

I spoke too soon; another 'lister got the payment sent first. Sad to not have the MCS but my wallet thanks me for now.
