Oh yes I did and I can't wait... PSS9s seem fine for the street but just as Ken pointed out, I've had similair issues with them with my car set to GT2 specs and in general they are too soft for the way my car can perform. Hitting the brakes makes the car nose dive

I'll come down soon.. the other option is for us to do one of those So Cal meet Nor Cal things

Oh btw, I just wanted to say one thing. My last experience buying something ended up being a pretty nasty one as some of you remember but as I said at the time, that was just one bad apple. Dealing with Ron has been an absolute pleasure!!! I know we don't have Ebay-like "feedback" options on this forum but if we did, then I'd give Ron an A+

It was a pleasure doing biz with you as well. Everything went smoothly and we are both happy. Thats what counts. After driving the PSS9's and the JIC's I know what you mean about the PSS9's being a little soft for your requirements and the performance of your car. The JIC's remind me a little of driving the shifter cars. . . Point and go, no diving whatsoever, I'm sure, even with your Brembos. Please give us your impressions after driving on the JIC's. Yes, a No Cal - So Cal event has to be arranged soon. Looking forward to meeting you in person and seeing the black beast.

Ron

Heya Ron, seriously it was a real pleasure and so nice to do things right this time as opposed to my last experience For the most part, I have found Porsche-owners EXTREMELY helpful and fair etc...

I got the fronts on today and will finish up the rears tomorrow. I'll get an alignment at Akurrat on Tuesday so I won't be able to test it out till then

One thing I noticed Ron was on the front shock towers the way our body is designed I'm not sure how to adjust the camber plates lol Poor thought from Porsche on that one!

Losen the stock shock tower bolts, and you'll have enough play where you can get in there with a hex key... you can also try a flex driver. There's also enough holes where you can simply reposition the hex bolts in dif locals for more direct access.

For what it's worth, at zero setting on the camber plates, in my car's lowered position, I was able to get front setting of -1.0 degrees. Hope that helps as a reference point.

So which spring rates did you end up going with?

Stephen,
thanks for filling in for me. I had no idea. Just relied on Tom at Lucent.
