EVT700 with "spring refresh" upgrades from EVO and SharkWerks From EVOMS on tap were a few hardware changes featuring the HED Coils, their Turbo ducts, pulley, their new headers and as a result a live tune was needed to get things right (for more on the live tuning you can watch this video below):

Either way when tuned on 91 octane and 93 here were the very good results below (it's got a full exhaust, cats etc...):
A few of the suspension parts on tap waiting to go in:
The customer wanted to maintain a factory-level compliant-like ride so we choose to use the TechArt lowering spring kit (lowers the car by 20mm).
In go the front springs:
In go the rear springs:
Also in the rear you can see we've installed our upgraded upper control arm adjustable rear links:
These kits allow the negative camber in the rear to be correctly adjusted to factory specifications, improving handling and road feedback. On lowered cars, the OEM links do not allow for sufficient adjustment, which forces an improper alignment and leads to excessive tire wear. The Adjustable Rear Link (AKA, "Dog Bone") Kit was designed to eliminate this problem. Additionally, the neoprene bushings have been replaced with steel monoballs, resulting in more direct handling feel and less movement among suspension components.
Also you can see the lower control arm was replaced with an upgraded adjustable toe-steer / bumpsteer kit:
On lowered Porsches with a factory toe steer link, the limited adjustment results in incorrect toe geometry. This part replaces the OEM part with a fully adjustable unit, allowing the toe to be adjusted to factory specifications.
The inner, neoprene bushing is also replaced with a steel monoball, which reduces dynamic changes in rear toe and further tightens up the car's handling.
What you can't see is that we also installed a solid monoball control arm kit. Our Monoball Lower Control Arm Kit replaces the neoprene factory lower control arm inner-pivot bushings with steel monoball joints, giving more direct handling and better road feedback. This increases the precision of the pivot motion of the control arm as it travels up and down under cornering.
Buttoned up with a set of the RSS adjustable front/rear sway bars the car is VERY driveable daily and doesn't bob/weave either. It certainly sticks.... I really like this set up and drove it daily on our 2009 997S project car as well.
Finished:
The car was also given a set of Champion RS171 light weight wheels in black and there she is ready to go home
