996 Turbo Going Under the Knife. Suggestions?
Taking her in to TPC tomorrow for sway bars, track/street alignment, oil change, change oil pressure sender. Anyone have any ideas as to what else I should knock out while in the shop? Just clocked 33k miles. Going with sway bars only, but was reading up on their Stage 1 & 2 suspension setups and must say, they sound appealing.
My track day average per year has gone down to 2/year as DE events. As much as I love the track events, time and money hold me back from what I really want to accomplish at the track. For a weekend track and street warrior, would you stick with sway bars and be done with it? Don't want to break the bank, nor do I want a rickety ride on the streets when not on track.

You don't need any of that on track Scott ... Your car is plenty ready. Spend your money on a good set of tires, brake pads and a castrol srf brake fluid flush, get an alignment done and your good to go. Save your money and get more seat time out of it.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Going with adjustable toe links and sway bars. Some general maintenance of oil, fluids and to tighten the oil pressure sending wires. Should be ready tomorrow, just in time for Saturday's fun run.
Will be looking to swap or sell my HRE's so I can put some wheels on with a tighter offset. Need to tuck it in about an extra inch so I don't rub the fenders with phatter tires like I presently have. The Hankook's didn't rub but these expensive Potenza's are slightly taller so I will get a slight rub on my already rolled fenders.
See you guys Saturday if the weather holds up.

Suspension feels tight but my ride height is still off by 1/2" on right rear and my wheelbase center to center is still off also by 1/2" from driver side. Says it could be the older shocks, something bent, etc. since they didn't look for the problem then, I would like to go elsewhere to investigate this issue since they want to charge to look at it again. Anyone have a shop they recommend for this specific type of work?
