No flame intended but 1. Get decent tires - it's a performance car. Falkens and similar are fine for normal sedans who don't corner hard anyway - I personaally tried Kumhos on a street car once and...

Still only 1 987 every 2nd or 3rd day though...seems the production and sales volumes are significantly lower than the 986 models.

About half have the top down, at least this time of the year.

Brace was $350 from perf products...

H&R drop is 1.4" in front 1.2" rear. Perfect height if you ask me, although you will scrape those splash guards EVERYwhere in normal driving.
