Look great, do those offsets work without spacers? Any suspension mods needed? I cant see any TS5 for the GT4 on the website

you’ll need adjustable rear toe links to clear 19x11 in this offset. And yes, I went with the 997 narrow body set. I am running a 3mm spacer in the rear for added clearance for the rear toe arms. The RSS ones I bought have more clearance than OEM, but are thicker than other competitors like BBI or Tarrett (which have the most clearance).

We moved to Carmel California! Drove her 1800 miles in three days with the standard seats. My back was a little sore. She did just fine, no problems. She now has 135,000 miles on her but she is going to be driven a lot less now. Lacuna Seca is less than 20 miles away, can’t wait!

I have 135000 miles on mine, don’t worry about trying to sell it or trade it.

one of the few owners who has more miles than dollars in their car. Lol

I think we've found the highest mileage GT4 in the world! Using it as intended. Well done!

With such mileage, have you encountered any notable problems that other owners might like to know about? What kind of maintenance schedule have you followed? Congrats on using your car. And TIA...

That's great. I'd also like to know your maintenance schedule and how many track days?

hi thanks, just the routine schedule.
change oil every 5k.
change brake fluid start of each track season.
put 19 inch wheels on and use re71’s for track and a Michelin all season otherwise
haven’t had any problems whatsoever.
12-15 track weekends including COTA, MSR Cresson, and Hallet so maybe 35-40 track days. COTA is obviously hardest on the car but also the safest so majority there.

Hit 40k (unfortunately, I'm only responsible for ~9.5k of them) on the way back from my first ever track event, "Porsche Experience" at Summit Point:

BTW, welcome to California! Carmel is beautiful and fun to go to before or after a day at Laguna Seca. When I'm down there next I'll have to make sure I found the correct GT4 before trying to unlock it, ha.

Default New Pagid brakes and discs

Had new Pagid RSL29s installed with factory discs. Tracked at Thunder Hill yesterday (3M, CCW, Bypass).


First impressions: awesome stopping power on the track. Confidence to go into turns much deeper than stock pads. Hella loud in normal street application.
Other reaction: burnin' up the Bridgestone RE71s too quick.
