Nice...I like your taste in mods. I liked the rim pics on your other thread. How many miles on her? How was the spring install? How do you like the ride feel?

Well thank you! The springs Wur easier then my Audi tt and the ride is rougher but I expected it!! What I didn't expect was when I went 18 to 19 the ride smoothed out alittle!! But it is a lighter rim and more rubber! And my baby has 80,000 miles! Nothing for a Porsche! Oh and my car came with litronics! And I tinted her at 20% all the way around!

Welcome to the club. One thing that always gets to me is a 996 with the spoiler left in the up position. Nice looking black 996 you've got there.

Thanx again to all the psative feedback! As for the spoiler, it was just for the pix. But i do know what you mean! As for the purchase, I purchased her in late November at 78,000 miles for 26.50 cash! He wanted 30 but couldnt resist the stack of cash! Wich i had a problem letting go of!!!!
Is there anything i should know to service that isnt common sense??? (example) On my Audi TT the Haldex unit needs an oil change over engine oil change! and the manual ask for an oil change every 40,000 or so!!
