JICs are on!

I finally got the parts from Japan and got these suckers installed myself. It took about 6 hours total by myself ! The front is really not that hard but just busy. You need to have proper tools of course! The rears took 20 minutes each minus adjustment! I lowered to GT2 height with a slight nose down. It went from 3 fingers over tire and under fender well to 0.5 fingers in front! It rides like it should now! I cant believe that 130k cars are made with such cheesy suspension. Shame on Porsche!

Pics coming soon! I had to drive to Tulsa for an alignmnet in the rain! My car is kinda gray still since its STILL raining!

Thanks to my pals James, Marty (has an awesome Ferrari 360 Modena), and Jody as they helped me get this done over the past 2 months!

Brutish is infamous around these parts
Congrats - I just got my JIC Cross suspension delivered from Dan at Vivid (Thanks for the great deal Dan!) and will be going to Lucent tomorrow to get it installed. I'm not planning on lowering ride height too much since I scrape the front all over town already and don't want to make it too much worse.

Would love to hear how you like it when you get to the track.
