    FCM is doing the works on my dampers.
    I’m interested to hear your review with that particular setup. When I ran 336/350 F and 675/700 R on FCM elite dampers, I was getting a bad oscillation front to rear over bumps. It was so bad that I had to lower the rear spring rates and ended up reverting back to 500# TCKs I had. I think I could go a bit higher in the rear but haven’t experimented any further.

    Do you end up changing you spring rates? What did you decide in with the new FCM dampers?

    Time for a large project.

    Wavetrac diff (stock ratio, because I hate more aggressive diffs) and diff rebuild (seals and bearings)
    CMP subframe bushings
    Monoball adjustable rear lower control arms
    vincebar
    Slonik rear plate
    ... and sort of related, the FCM rear shocks and spring are part of this as well (front, too, obviously)

    Are those the GC adjustable rear lower control arms with the sealed monoball?

    I don't think there's a better seat made for a dual purpose (street and track) car.

    3 back to back track events left my car looking pretty dirty...




    ... but she still looked pretty good from a distance.

    $400 flushed down the toilet...
    If it makes you feel better, their catalog has DS2500 much more widely available than DS1.11s. I only saw the DS1.11 when I was browsing for the 997 at one point.

    When I plug in a 2002 porsche 911 into FCP's website, I get both the DS2500 and DS11's. A few months back you could get Hawk DTC 60 or 70 for the 911, but I don't see those offered any longer, weird.

    is a 2002 911 Carrera the wrong car to find parts for the 996 brembo upgrade?


    DS2500 is a hybrid street/track compound, if they were trying to slow you down on nitto's, no wonder they didn't last!
