Along with oil pan if it hasn't been upgraded yet.

Not sure how heavy the Cargraphic wheels are but I shaved off 7-9 lbs per corner of unsprung weight moving to lighter wheels which is definitely noticeable both on street and track.

Thanks guys for the complements...I am really enjoying the car....its very raw and its great to be shifting again. Can't wait to try it out on the track for a DE. I still need to do a bunch of work to it...new steering wheel, replace the harness bar with a roll bar, maybe replace the IMS, 997 gear shifter, Gundo Hack, sport cats, service the JRZ, Maybe add a clear bra to minimize chips....a lot to do before the July 7 DE debut.

Yes...feel blessed to have two same, yet so different animals....the 996 C2 is much more viceral and fun to drive....the 997 C4S is refined and a beast.

Love that side by side shot!

Seeing how low the 996 sits made me wince a little bit (from the perspective of a daily driver)

Thanks....I alternate my DD between my 03 Merc and 09 C4S.... The yellow 2000 is meant primarily for having fun on the track but I am finding that I love driving it to work and just watch where i go so I don't tear off the lip. My bigger problem is that Ihave a crack in my rear wheel but already have another being shipped. The stiff suspension is brutal on the wheels.
