Some race, some wish they could. I can't afford it so I get my thrills where I can. I've been driving this car a long time. I was lucky to find club, the world and wouldn't want to forget NARP. So I was able to add anti rolls, 140 lbs in the rear, 21 mm torsions, oh you know, all that Weltmeister stuff from the turn of the century. But like some, I also bought the KYB's and settled. Well thanks to a few of you, I now have bilstein b6 hd's for the front and just got these for the back. Which brings up the first question. I'm raising the front spindles 40mm (1.5"), I'd like to get the snap ring close on the rears. Can you guys get me close?

Second thing, I live in the desert, so even in the winter it can be hot in the day time. So I'm adding a front oil cooler. I've seen it exhausted out the hood (BOLD), from under the car and into the wheel wells. Since the brakes get so hot, I was thinking of sending that air towards them. Can you guys give me, from practical experience if this path is good or not. The brakes are 911 T M's w/ vented rotors in the rear, fronts are wilwood superlites vented rotors. Brake heat should not be a problem around town, but I like to play on mountain roads, or any twisty and I'd really like to join some of you in some friendly autocross. As far as top speed, shoot my car was not set up to go fast so under the car exhaust should not be an issue either. I've seen the wheel well exits on 911's. To me your opinions are gold, and appreciated. Thank you
