No worries and thanks for the kind words. I am definitely interested in the answer too, no thread jack at all!

I am running the H&R Sport Springs (which we have in stock)
Here are the alignment specs
Alignment Specs:
Camber
front -2.0
rear -1.9
Toe
front 1mm overall toe in
rear 1.75mm per side toe in
Also the alignment and the BBS + Trofeo tire set up completely changed the characteristics of the car. The steering wheel is much heavier and the car is so far more planted and a lot more fun to drive. Completely different animal.

Eric - did your car have PDCC? Wondering if the wheels would fit around all the PDCC stuff...and if the camber settings would be appropriate. Did you try this setup on the track? Please PM me the pricing for the wheels...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks Serge!

Centre Radiator install
Freed Performance installed the centre radiator on the 991 today and made custom grilles at the same time. I have not seen the car myself but received a few pictures today. Could not resist and had to share them

In progress...
After:
More to follow soon...

I dont have the PDCC but the wheels will clear. BBI did the alignment for us and it is prper for aggressive street/track set up. I have not tracked my 991S tho.
Will shoot you a PM now on the wheels
I'll check as soon as I am back in town (early next week) and keep you posted!
New playmate in our sandbox...
No, not this one:
but this one:
They may have been on the street for a while, but it is the first time that I come across the new Ford Police Interceptor in my area:
Looks better than a Crown Vic. Should be faster too with the new "EcoBoost that kicks out an exhilarating 365hp" (quoting the official Ford 'Police Interceptor' mini-site
). Well, if LEO's are 'exhilarated' by the power of their cars, maybe they'll understand us better and let enjoy ours a bit more 
And if they are going too fast, they got new big-@ss brakes too:
Looks like it would be a better contender for a bit of P-car chasing, but would still not stand a chance... until 10 more cop cars and a chopper show up
One thing is sure, it will be more difficult to spot a Taurus than a Crown Vic in the traffic...

Double Facepalm today
OK, I am getting ready to leave for VIR, stuff is in the car, new centre radiator is working OK, new Fabspeed headers with sportcats are adding a bit of sound and throttle response, the sun is shining and ... Dang! CEL!
What can be wrong? Scanning for fault codes: NOx issue: could it be the sportcats
MAF error: were my BMC filters too oily
Clearing the codes, restarting the car... same CEL. Car seems to choke a bit to at start up. While we start checking the intake, I notice THAT I DID NOT PROPERLY CLOSE THE OIL CAP
Well, that's a 'crankcase vacuum leak', is as old as the hills and it is exactly what it does...
Properly attached the oil cap. Cleared the codes one last time. On my way.
Sunroof open and windows down, Sport+ mode, PDK in manual and PSE ON.. Priceless
(made me forgot how stupid I had been)
