Nice 911!

Good choice going for the '13 m-sport rather than the early production '14 ones. That way you get the proper m-sport suspension.

Any recommendations on parts/ tuner shops? I want to get rid of the chrome grille, get a small drop (which springs would you guys use), and I guess everyone uses BMS for JB4.

great set up. I love the new 911s. They are not only beautiful to look at, they drive well too.

I've worked on many different high end cars, but I think the built quality on the new 991 911 is so much superior compare to other Porsche models. 991 911s are probably one of the best quality cars I've seen by far. Even better than the 458 Spider or the Avantador imo.

Thanks man, it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I drove a bunch of the competitors for the 911 and came to the same conclusion.

Oh man... props for putting those body kit. Ducktail is a must on any 911s. It makes the car look so much better. How much did you pay for the body kit if you dont mind me asking? I want to get exact same set up in yellow or baby blue for my next car. If not GT3.

I had a customer couple days ago, he did a Euro Delivery on a 991 C4S in Germany and took it for a spin at Nurburgring. He said he will never leave Porsche haha

Most here go with either ACS or H&R. ACS provides a mild drop at around 1" on all corners whereas H&R offers a more aggressive drop perhaps close to 2" on all. I would personally choose the former. You could also get the Mperformance grille to rid of the chrome..

and oh almost forgot: Nice cars!

There are two factory body kits available. The one I have is the sport design package and is a 49xx option. The other which I don't like as much is the Aerokit cup package and is 59xx. I think my body kit follows the lines of the 911 better than the other kit.

Good luck getting a new gt3, the allocations in Florida are gone for two years, a lot of dealers are not even getting one if they don't move enough 911s. I have a deposit down on the turbo s and I am number 8 on list

That is correct; they are made by Eibach tuned to ACS spec. Or, you could go Eibach which offers similar drop as the ACS but with different spring rates. If my memory serves me good, I read from here somewhere that the ride with ACS is about 25% stiffer than the stock and that's why they are comfortable. I imagine Eibach perhaps a bit more stiffer than the ACS..
