Will do when I know. I'll see if there is a way to get these to people quickly.

Welcome to the SP5 club mate. Enjoy them. I can vouch for them, they have had my lard *** in them while chucking the car through targa tours and track days for 4+ years now and still going strong!

John. Coilovers are the ticket to mid 18s in a 964.

You blazing that trail was a big part in the decision making process to be honest. Once Jamie had a set i didn't want to be left out. They weigh nothing.

Weathers looking sketchy this weekend, how often should I be changing the brake fluid in the 996tt? I've done about 3,000 soft km plus 4 track days. I'm using SRF

Every 12 months with that mix I should say. Probably could get away with 18 depending on anticipated immediate future use.

Youll enjoy them. They really tie you to the chassis and give more feedback to what happening than any fancy engine or transmission mount, short shift kit or harder poly bush. I put them in as an experiment but have never taken them out. Would recommend cutting some elephant foam for a lumber support and positioning it t suit you (and passenger) behind the rear cushion that velcro out.

Good thinking! My nana back will get in a tizzy for sure. Interestingly for the first time ever, out of all the cars i own, the 25 year old stock comfort seats have never caused me complaint

Porsche seats have always been very good. Ive kept mine wrapped up for when I hang up my gloves.
