Nicely spec'd and priced right! Wish the timing was better. I just sold my 997 C2 but can't pull the trigger on anything else for another 18-24 months :(

My wife doesn't mind the change in ride quality, but she doesn't like the sport bucket seats to begin with and rarely goes with me anywhere in that car.

Thanks Dave, I plan on going ahead and doing PS 9's and also Tarrett engineering upper strut monoball bushings.

As to the sport buckets my wife ( both of us over 70 ) finds the sport buckets comfortable but getting in and especially out interesting. We have traveled all over the country in the Spyder and love it. One concession to her is PDK ... but I have other manual cars.

Understand with teenagers ... my grandkids are now teenagers and some are driving. How time passes. Thanks for the info on the Ps 9's . 27,000 on my Spyder and enjoying every mile
