Enrique - front rotors/pads we can do my front set and learn- should take 30 mins.
Eric - suspension components what suspension components ? dog bones ? those are easy. 45 min total for both sides... what else ?
Eugene - lower all 4 corners by about 1/4" (anyone has the PSS10/9 adjustment tools?) as long as you have the tool to lower it that is given when purchased,it should be easy. Jack the car up, and turn 4 corners accordingly. It won't be 100% corner balance for some real track driving, are you okay wit that ?
Oz- Rotors, pads, oil change, maybe spring install oz, you need new rotors and pads ? didn't you just do those at my house awhile ago ?! ....we can do oil change so others can learn. Springs are not hard, just make time awhile so lets put that on pending.
Eugene (Aerodude) - beer (foreign or domestic?) I'm not much of a drinker but stellas sound good

Truth be told, I'm not really a beer drinker either (but I thought it sounded better than sodas ). However, if it's beer, shouldn't it be German beer?

Absolutely! I love Warsteiner, but it should have been labeled FartSteiner. I would recommend Spaten Pils!

The 12th should work fine for me too.

I updated the list to be more specific as to what I want to do.

Enrique - front rotors/pads
Eric - lowering springs and adjustable toe link install
Eugene - lower all 4 corners by about 1/4" (anyone has the PSS10/9 adjustment tools?)
Oz- Rotors, pads, oil change, maybe spring install
Eugene (Aerodude) - beer (foreign or domestic?)

Sounds like a great idea! If anyone needs decides to do this in the Sacramento area I have a second home there and a lift in the garage (2 post) and tools.

As a sidenote, +1 to SharkWerks for any mod or maintenance needs, they are beyond a standup shop and have dealt with my incessant questioning, visits and giving me loads of advice for when I make my purchase. They steered me away from a Cayman S and lead me down the path to now waiting for the right time for a GT3. A little off-topic, I am loving the shirt, stickers and plate frame Alex, they look amazing!
Thank you and a real pleasure... Glad to be around and I think the GT3 is absolutely the right way

Wow, F1 at Montreal; I'm envy. I'm hopping that I can go to the Austin one in 2012.

Enjoy!

I would highly recommend Bauer Porsche in Oakland. They just installed a KW v3 in my car and did a great job. The shop is not fancy at all but they know their stuff and are very honest. During the KW install they accidentally broke a brake line and they told me about it and replaced it with new parts/bleed brakes at their cost.
