The brakes are THE most important safety system on the car. The fact that you can even ask the question, frankly, indicates that you haven't thought this through. You should ALWAYS replace the...

Bilstein HDs will give very similar damping to OEM. AT 65k miles, your springs should not be anywhere near worn out, unless the car has been driven over a LOT of severely rutted roads. Given your...

Just to establish my perspective, I've driven any number of 986 and 987 examples, both base and S, and own a base '04. I recently drove a base 981.

As you would expect, the 981 continues the...

I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs. The Recaro sits higher than the stock seat - I have it mounted in the lowest hole in back and the middle (of three) holes in front. I would drop it to the lowest hole in...

As others on this thread have noted, this settlement doesn't expose PCNA to much more liability than they had already accepted. But hey, some lawyers make a million or so - gotta love class action...

The short answer is that there aren't many truly 'bad' name brand performance tires available these days. A competitive market is a good thing. I'm not personally a fan of BFG, but other than that,...
