Yes, I left the shocks stock, handles great, but I had then do a neutral toe, with just a slight bit of negative camber on the rears so the tires would sit more flat on the road. I also was on the fence and I don't track or DE so I was doing it for the looks, glad I went this way.

$1250.00 minus 10% PCA discount = $1125.00 + tax. I use my local dealer for services so I had them do it.

No, I provided the springs, I received them as a B-Day gift from my two sons. AWE tuning was the supplier.

Looks great! I am so jealous at how clean your wheels are! I bought my C4S and the previous owner rashed them.

IMO, I would let them look, these wheels can be brought back to life! Take a look.

I could provide you a full quote it you'd like so you have an idea.

As odd as this may be, no, it actually feels very good. I like it. I can't commet on the how it could work on the 997, but I am very satisfied with my ride quality. If you want to talk pm me and I'll be happy to share what I know.
