Car tramlines a bit due to the giant 305 front tires I'm assuming. Car size is my only complaint. It does feel big. I don't like that. I'm sure within a few days I'll get used to it but right now that's my only issue with the car. I mean the m2 felt big after getting out of the 964 but this feels much much bigger. Love the seats, the interior is good enough for me. Did I mention the engine and exhaust?

edit: steering was in comfort forgot to try different modes. Preferred the sport setting. Heavier and more reactive

I'm wondering if I still have the rear bump stops on. There's about 2-3 fingers space between tires and the body.

How do you spot the spacers? Can you just look underneath the car in the street, or do you need to get it on a lift? I took a look with the car outside, but I couldn't see anything.

Also, if the spacers are still there, how do you remove them? Simply put the car on a lift and pull them out, or does it require any tools?

Sorry if those questions are obvious!

Thanks very much,

Process - takes 6 seconds - Depress the clutch with one hand, grasp the top of spring assy and pull towards you - pops right out with minimal force. Clean up excess grease.

If you like the OEM shifter, which is quite good, the aftermarket MGW shifter is sublime. Talk about rifle bolt action.
