Thanks. I think the TechArts were in the correct size and offset so that spacers were not needed. I'll double check.

Round 1A should be in a few weeks when I get the 19" 9-spoke Dymag carbon / magnesium rims.

Round 2 will involve fully adjustable suspension (still waiting for something PASM-compatible), new clutch and lighter flywheel, probably new gearing, a few interior pieces like a new steering wheel. I'm also considering a full RUF body kit, although I go back and forth on whether or not to add a body kit, or just leave the body stock.

mexicoblue i think a ruf kit would be a bit too much. the car looks sooooo good now - the bright color & subtle look combination is just amazing.
congrats.

That would be a question for PorscheFanatic, as I haven't a clue. But the shots I sent him were pretty high res. I think.

From a Gulf Blue Club Sport owner, you get kudos from our household! It's good to see a fellow Tennessean with a great and unique Porsche.

Thanks. All mods at once, with round 2 coming this Fall.

Being in Little Rock, and Imagine Auto being in Kansas City (8 hours away), I'm only willing to give it up to them once a year, so that gives me a whole year to plan, draw up a list, read, and spend too much time on here deciding what to do next.

Can you post the specs on your wheels? I looked on Wheel Boutique's website, but I am a little bit confused by what they posted. Your wheels fit perfectly. I see many 20s out there that look like they stick too far out in the back and just look stupid. So, if you could please post the specs (width, offset, diameter, and tire size/brand) that would be great! Also, how much did the techart springs lower the car? Keep up the good work!

I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea what the specs are on my TechArts. I got them from Wheel Enhancement, who is a board sponsor. Those guys really know their stuff, as I'm sure most board sponsors would. I mail ordered them from those guys, and they showed up on my doorstep, tires perfectly mounted and balanced, and ready to go on the car. They were super knowledgeable, and their customer service, patience, and friendliness were all top notch.

The TechArt springs lowered it about 1.25" I think, but again I am heavily dependent on board sponsor Imagine Auto (Stephen Kaspar et al) in Kansas City for their phenomenal recommendations and installation.

And thanks. The wheels do fit great, and no rubbing or bottoming out issues at all.
