Porsches were designed to be run hard in the upper rpm range. That's one thing you'll notice is different than an American car. Don't fear running over 4k, the car loves it.

Bilstiens. I was thinking about the lowering springs but it sits pretty low already. Any thoughts on those guys? I also found some poly bushing replacements i was thinking about getting. There is some good rattling under there so i figured id just freshen it all up.

Yes i will do the work myself, if i cant wrench on my cars.. I dont want it lol i love working on my cars. I have the space, tools and ability. Best hobby you can have
