I like the lowered look from the RÜF suspension, but the wheel fitment isn't great. I want something that's simple, more flush with the fenders, and shows off the brakes, but doesn't compromise performance. Considering adding spacers until I can afford some nice forged wheels. I like the 5-spoke design of Avant Garde's F330 wheels, but don't think the straight lines would go with the 996's curvier lines. Looking for something like a mixture of the OEM turbo wheels and F330's with less weight and better fitment - maybe ADV.1's ADV05.1 M.V1 SL.

As for color, I was originally considering something that matches the color of brake dust for obvious reasons, but now I think magnesium would be a good match with the paint.

Drive-line feels pretty sloppy in comparison to my Miata. Yes, I know they're completely different cars. The Miata is a track car, and the C4S is a daily driver, but I'd like something a little more controlled from the Porsche. I've heard good things from Function-First's transmission mount inserts, and I their engine mount upgrade looks like a perfect compromise of stiffness, comfort, and price.

The Fabspeed exhaust is great, but the tips are OEM, and the fitment SUCKS. Anxiously waiting for Fabspeed's C4S quad-tips. Alex Kononchuk from Fabspeed said the development on these should be completed in the next month or so.
