Not that Adam. His car is Silver, and he wishes he had a GT3.

Did you have RT install that or did you just go there for an alignment afterwards? I have one that needs to go in, along with a PSRS kit and the rest of my suspension goodies.. Running out of time.

I had RT Tuning install it. I'm glad I did because Vince put an extra guy on it and they cracked through it. Watching them I realized it isn't as simple as the whiteline install videos. I also got rear bushing for the front LCAs. Pat had both LCA's off in 20 minutes that made me realize what a higher skill set people that do this professionally have.

Josh even commented saying he's glad I didn't ask him to do it.

It really feels alot better; the rck with bushings. Certain characteristics I blamed on my springs were actually improved with these two things. I'm still not crazy about my springs and they're next to go on my list but its definitely livable now and feels basically stock again.

I need to get mine done too. Pete, did you get the Perrin with the adjustable caster? I really wanted it when Marc installed his, but I don't think I will do it anymore.

if you're just doing the rck and psrs you could expect to pay probably a bit more than 2 hours of labor plus alignment.

to me, it was worth it. it saved me a lot of frustration and time

I would never attempt it myself, I'm fully aware I have to pay someone to do it.
I have a slew of parts... I just need my damn springs to get here so I can make an appointment somewhere, whether its with RT or a friends shop.

Yep, I ordered them earlier this week. Andrew told me they had them in stock, or atleast he thought they were, but when I talked to Carol she said they didn't but they expected them this week coming up.

You said the other day you were running -2.7 up front, how so, did you get something new or has it been that way?
