987.1 (Base 2.7) Build Questions.

So I picked this car up last year, and am finally starting to get around to building it up. Numeric shifter and cables are in. However, when the coilovers were being put in we noticed that the exhaust system needs to be replaced.

Question 1: What are you 987 guys running? Is spending 50% of the value on SOUL parts my only option?

Brake pads are OEM plenty of life left in them. However, rotors need to be replaced.

Question 2: What pad and rotor setup are you guys using? I was thinking of DBA T3 4000 rotors with Pagid 29 RSL pads.

Question 3: I’m a husky guy, 42 inch waist in jeans. Is anyone running a Sparco Evo XL seat? Or a Corbeau FX1 wide? I’m curious as to what my options would be. I know the cabin is small and a “lightweight door card” might be necessary due to the size of the seat.

I’m hoping for some real world examples.

Thanks!

Silvers Neomax Coilovers?

I have a base 987.1 cayman that I’m turning into a mostly track car. Has anyone ran, or is anyone running the Silvers NeoMax Coilovers? I just ordered a set and am curious with anyone’s experience.
