porscheman1963 is infamous around these parts
Thanks, It was sold to me by a company called Eagle Day ( eagleday.com ) and they sell a lot of porsche stuff. I had the dealer install it last May when I got my car. To the OP : Sorry to thread jack.

Looks like the Techart Stage 1 spoiler. One of my favorites...very subtle.

The car doesnt feel stabile on the highway around 80-100 mph. I have driven these cars over 140 and it felt solid and completely in control

But lately my car just doesnt feel right - like its moving around at higher speeds. It doesnt feel steady. Wondering if my spoiler isnt rising to help stabilize the car
I bet you a lunch that your car is NOT aligned properly. The dealer I have found is clueless with EXACT proper alignment. PM me and I can tell you more...or I can follow you to make ure your tail goes up and down...but trust me that tail is not giving you much down force at highway speeds.

I can totally feel the rear end plant when the spoiler goes up...it's pretty noticeable if you pay attention to it.

_Nathan is infamous around these parts
1. Open sunroof.
2. Have wife stand on seat, facing backwards.
3. Drive 100 mph.
4. If wife is still there, ask her if the spoiler is up or down.

Actually this question has been covered pretty thoroughly over at rennlist . . .

997.2 coupe here and it feels too comfortable around 100! This car is going to get me in a lot of trouble. Also can't see if my spoiler is up or not in the rear view mirror. I do like others and look for reflections in anything shiny!

Use a bent coat hanger wire attached to the spoiler with duct tape...

Re stability... Nah... the spoiler works at 80 but is crucial well beyond that.

i've also noticed my car to feel a little light at the front end but its my first P car so maybe that just me. Still want to hear the PSE. Beers

Almost always tire pressures. Was it a hot day? Drop the rears a few pounds and see if that fixes the issue - over 40psi and the rear end will get loose in my experience.

That photo was at Daytona....I was probably going around 160mph crossing the start/finish line...yes I raised the spoiler manually at the track only. I really want more front and rear downforce at the track. On the street and highway stock is fine...no issues.
