We installed (and removed) the DAS Sport Roll hoop. Click here <\/a>to see the complete installation process. Once you figure it out, installation takes less than 45 minutes, less if you have a helper. You loose the rear seats for passenger seating, but no one wants to sit back there anyway. You also get a nice bit of chassis stiffening in the process which should probably be balanced with a strut bar in the front sometime.<\/p>\n

We also completed a suspension refresh<\/a>. Since we’re keeping the car (mostly) stock, we went with the ROW M030 Sport Suspension from Suncoast<\/a>. For those of you new to the Porsche world, “ROW” means “rest of the world” as in everywhere outside of the US where they actually use their tax dollars to pave their roads so they are flat, instead of raising their suspensions (or buying SUVs) to deal with crappy road surfaces. For a car that sees occasional track duty, this is an excellent set-up that doesn’t compromise drive-ability for performance. At $1200 it’s a bargain too; $1000 net after selling some of the old bits. Great DIY write-up here<\/a> (login required.) Front end is very easy, but be prepared to spend some time on the rear strut, especially where it joins the wheel carrier.<\/p>\n
