SWEET! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I almost went to COTA, but I've used up my quota with the family this month.

Just received these pics of the wheels being test fit before alignment. I like the color but it seems like a lot of rubber to squeeze under those fenders. I'll update as I learn more.

Yeah, that looks like a lot. Your offsets seem a tad less aggressive than mine were, so you should be ok if your alignment is aggressive. Who is doing the alignment?

Joe at ATX Autosport is doing the install of the suspension components as well as the alignment. I used him a bunch on my prior Cayman track cars and he always did a great job. Given my past experience (and his recent experience with your car) I figured he would be able to help me figure all of this out.

Hells yes! I love the black and blue...looks killer. I rock a similar color scheme on my track toy, but my wheels are a little smaller, and my whole car is worth less than one of your new wheels...lol.

Hmmmm....(1) someone you trust and (2) someone that it is a much better/faster driver than you are...

You do know that you just eliminated 99.9% of the drivers at our events LOL! Would love to know who that is...

+1, having myself been passed by ShakeNBake in his GT4 and RS. Did Leh Keen stop by TWS or what?

Kind words

TexasRS on here...we tend to hang out together when we're at the same events. He has a white RS and a voodooblue 993 custom beast.

Jgarvish, saw your car today, I think you're going to be fine once it's aligned. The red looks spectacular!

Thanks! I'm glad to hear your thoughts since you a have similar setup. I'll report back once I have a chance to get on track and know more.

Update: Got down close to 26s at COTA today per the predictive timer but traffic kept thwarting me. Minimal rubbing. The car could use more negative camber F/R. I think I will move to -3.5F and -3R.
