Quote: Is sharky's shop near by? I would have def. had him check out the car before I finalized the purchase if I knew he was right there. At this point, I don't think I can have any mods done since I'm wiring the funds tomorrow and they won't release the car until they have 100% of the funds. The car gets picked up on Saturday so not really much time for mods.

you would be surprised at what sharkey can do in 2 days ......

BTW: Oakland to sharkey's shop is less than 1/2 hr away......(and thats a whole lot closer than the car they did (GT700) that got shipped to Poland over the summer....)

Quote: Congrats Awais. Instead of shipping it home you should send it over to Sharkwerks first for a few tasteful modifications. You know it won't be stock for long. BTW, looks great.

Thanks Peter! I honestly didn't know Sharky was so close by or I would have sent it to him. At this point, transport's already scheduled and I'm really impatient and can't wait till it gets here

you all realize that mike shaw (mashaw) ripped off the 9ff wing...and even sells it for the same amount!

the least he could do is use his "own" picture.

PSS9s are great...however, I find them a bit too soft in the rear for my liking. Rear weight bias demands a stiffer rear spring IMO

SKip the strut towers, the TT front tub is plenty stiff. Sways are a definite and will make night and day diff.

Nothing wrong with misha's wing ( I had one before switching to the oem aerokit), looks wise. Just be aware that it is not AD the same as a real GT2 wing (different ht/angle of attack/wdth). Porsche spent a ton of cash on RD with the aerokit and GT2 with matching front lips/bumpers, can't really mix and match and avoid high speed intability. Aftermarket guys just can't test like the factory can. Be sure you have the proper front lip, but if you never hit the track, it's all bling and doesn't matter.
As far as the x73, it is porsches competition euro suspension designed for your car. Mine never once bottomed out, pss9's are kind of a 1 size fits all deal. But like you said, if you never hit the track probably all academic anyway. enjoy your car, looks nice.

Sky is the limit on these Turbos. I ran my M3 with friend's newly upgrade Evo600 and he pulled on me like I was going backward. Crazy....
