IMO you're really chasing minutiae here. At the end of the day, the 986 chassis isn't super rigid, and it acts like a giant, undamped spring. It's not going to ride like a pillow no matter what you...

IMHO the Koni Sport (yellows) have too much rebound damping, even on the softest setting. The Bilstein (who is the OE supplier, FWIW) should be softer. Are you sure you have the B4 and not the B6?...

Is there a fuse inline on the power or turn-on lead?

I had a similar problem on another car a while back and I popped the "fuse" holder open to find a resistor. Every time I'd slow to idle or...

RT660 is probably the best choice for AX only on a Boxster right now. They're like the re71 but a little more forgiving at the limit. Horrible in the wet though.

The A052 is a little faster on...

Well, tire wear is tire wear. Increasing camber will get you a little more life, but it's not going to be as much as you think. It'll take you many, many sets of tires to make up for the cost of...

The party piece of the TT-RS (both gens) is that I5 motor, particularly the sound. The half-a-V10 tone is super unique and cool.

At the end of the day, it's the fanciest of all Golfs - it's a fwd...

Well, kinda, but no? Every component has a very generalized "more oversteer" and "more understeer" setting, but how and when they act is important to understand.

This is more nit-picky than anything else, but you can definitely corner balance a car without adjustable drop links. You (maybe) can't have a corner balanced car with no preload in the swaybars...

I think the best answer is "it depends." Suspension setup is a bit of a dark art as there's a LOT of situational and driver preference involved. Some people like a lot of swaybar on one (or both)...

I've seen much, much worse. I personally would probably just send them next time as-is and let that scrub off.

If you must remove the OPR, an oscillating multitool works very well for the job.

With a few events under your belt, you should have at least some sense of what's going on by now. Can you feel the rear start to break away before it goes or does it just snap? Are you comfortable...

I suspect they'll be quite similar to the 944 in which beat cars will trend to $0, mint cars will rise handsomely but not exponentially, and nicely maintained drivers will have a slow, positive price...

I think you'll be happy with the Cup2. The A052 isn't super heat tolerant so it's not amazing for track work, plus the wear is indeed horrible. I like the RT660 a lot, they're very similar to the...

If the Cosmo MuchoMacho is available in your size, you almost have to go with it just based on name alone.

With that kind of camber, I'm not surprised. At OEM camber levels, I would be surprised.

Be aware of the multiple variable effect. Multiple looks at a course, and you'd have gone faster with or...

I wouldn't sweat it too much, the RE-71R is pretty pressure agnostic. Start at 35-37 square. Too much pressure (40+) and they get a little too sharp / antsy. Too little pressure and they just burn...

I don't think there's a street tire with a stiffer sidewall out there than the Bridgestone RE-71R. They're hard to mount a lot of times the sidewall is so stiff. If you want razor sharp response, I...

I'm sad to see there's only one Boxster S registered for CS at nationals.

I see the DeShon/Stuart 986S will be running STR, that one should be interesting.
