I'm in the white (advanced) group, so I plan to rail on the car a bit. No R comps yet...I'll wait to learn the handling of the car better, so I won't mask it with sticky tires.

I hear that adding LSD is a good upgrade. Any experience with that? Before/after comments?
I have the factory LSD in my 2010 Cayman and it is OK, not as good as the Guard unit in my "SC" Interestingly the Cayman Interseries cars have gone from the factory unit to a guard LSD as it is stronger etc.

Hey, one other question: what is the ideal ride height or where could I find that? I did a search here but to no avail. The car has been lowered considerably, but the P.O. set the height for aethetics. It is likely too low, although I have not experienced any bump steer or other indicators. I cannot currently get into my driveway either...bit of a problem, that.
I called Bilstein when I was installing my coilovers and they suggested 25mm. If the car is lowered too much you also run into rear toe issues because there isn't enough adjustment on the ecentric bolt. My car is actually just out on the left rear toe and I could use use adjustable toe links. Passenger rear came in which is a bit odd!
