I am thinking about the PSS10 since you can adjust the ride height back to stock, since mine is a daily driver as well as being used as a track car too. Any thoughts?

What would be your top 10 items in order of importance (other than pads, using Pagid's at the moment) to get for future track events as my driving skills improve?

Thanks.

Suspension and brakes on their way. HR sway bars also bought and droplinks on their way as well. Got a 2nd set of turbo rims running with GT2 spec PS2s and a shortshifter..

Help me with this...Suspension settings are going to be different for standard size tyres and different for GT2 spec size?

996twins, I advise you to rethink your choice of the PSS10's. They are more of a street shock and their spring set is too soft for the track. You would be better off with the JIC because they offer various spring sets so you can choose a set that would do double duty, street and track. JIC's can be adjusted back for street driving. Get PSS10's if you don't really care about on track performance, otherwise if you get into it, you'll have to change suspension again like I did.

I know this will sound extremely stupid as a remark..but gear changes all occur at 7000 rpm?..Dont we get max turbo pressure earlier than this?..

I believe suspension setup settings are not different from 996TT to GT2 tires...However you can PM me for further details...
