F: 225/40/18 R:285/30/18....these are big tires!
The suspension was $1000 euro from a place called Carnewal in Belgium. Carnewal.com
Installation & alignment was $660 at RennWerks in Mt. View, CA.
The PO says the ride smoothed out a bit with the M030, but it seems stiffer compared to other 996s I drove. But, a lot sharper so well worth it imho.
I see used late model wheels (a lot of turbo twists for some reason) with good tires all the time. I almost want to get a second set just for the tires. I bet you can do this whole setup for under $3k.
As someone who has had P-cars from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and today, let me be the first to proclaim they are all great but my choice for everyday driving is the 996. Then again my all-time favorite was my Maestro 67 912 ;-).
