I'd say if you had already set up the suspension on a dozen other cars and got good results putting them on the podium at local track events, this DIY is right up your alley. Whenever anyone uses the word "clueless" in the same post as "suspension setup", my best advice is to resist the temptation to DIY. Suspension is complicated, you will get dozens of very different opinions from forum jockeys who may or may not have ever done this successfully.

Figure out what you want from your car, what tires you want to use, and how much you are willing to spend to make this car great. Then take it to a trusted Porsche indy shop who specializes in this type of suspension work and write the check. Most shops would really rather not allow you to watch and learn, but it never hurts to ask. All they can say is no.

As an example, my brother and I both drive Caymans. Mine has fairly simple suspension mods to make the most of my tire patch and lower the car a bit to tune the camber. It was about $3k all in and though it is a clear compromise, it works pretty well. My brother has about $10k in suspension in his car and it is simply phenomenal both on the street and the track. He spared no expense and the car is amazing. Both were professionally set up by leading shops in the area.
