Alignment required and on the cards for Monday but I'm comfortable directing them myself I know exactly how I like the car set up.

Who do you use for alignment I am in Uddingston but it would be no problem to travel.

I don't have anyone specific, Porsche did it last time when the axle carriers were recalled. Someone with the hunter system is usually a good shout.

Which seat option does your car have?

Standard Sports Seats.  The multiway electronic adjustable ones are a put off for me personally & the proper buckets are so hard to actually get in and out of too.  Standard are comforatable over a long drive and OK to actually use on a daily basis.

I thought these were the basic GTS seats, 2 way adjustable not the fancy 18 way.

Fitted my 10mm spacers front and back. Front looks perfect, rear looks like it could do with a slightly bigger one.

Once the H&R springs go on next week and I’ve got a bit of neg camber I’ll work out what’s needed, gut says 15mm like I had on 987.

My new discs from Autodoc arrived a few days ago.

Checked the box, all looked ok. Whipped the first disc off, looked to compare old and new. What!!! The new ones are only 315mm not the 330mm I have.

Checked on the Autodoc website, my car, a 2016 GTS listed as correct for these ATE discs. WRONG!

Not happy, having to take a hit and buy Eurocarparts ones for more £££ and faff about returning the Autodoc ones. Not the first time they have sent the wrong stuff, I ordered air filters, got sent 987.1 ones instead of 991. It's areal PITA when you dismantle half of the car to find the replacement doesn't fit. Having said that, it's not as much hassle as trying to fill your wallet up after the OPC have emptied it, lol. (To be fair, some of the stuff from the OPC isn't too bad, Design 911 are worse, they aren't as pleasant to deal with as they don't have a range of tasty cars to ogle at whilst they fleece you).

But no good if you need the part today or tomorrow morning, assuming it is in stock locally.
