Congrats on the install. I wish I was closer so I could have helped or at least seen the process. Hopefully, I'll be doing this in a couple of months too.
Jacks and jackstands, and a whole lot of up-and-down.

I stopped in at Tischer this afternoon, to see if my spare parts had come in. While I was there, I gave Casey a quick ride, and I think he put it best: the car feels more planted.

If you're willing to drive down here, I can help you. But, you're buying lunch!
BillC,
Yea, I wish I had gotten your contact info. I planned on making a day of the PCA event that day but wound up only staying for a few minutes.
I didn't know it until you said it above but then realized that I get that inside wheel spin all the time.... Of course, I still dont see an LSD install in my future but it sounds great.
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

Hi Bill
Glad your install went Ok, (sorry you had to do it ALL by yourself, Brave Man) and Thanks for the insight to DIY and for your kind comments about the finish and feeling it gave you and the car after fitting. As Ken says.....GO DRIVE
Langan Porsche in Schenectady, NY (near Albany) did my install for me. They had no problems. The cost, while not cheap, was fair (about 1,000). I have a good relationship with the dealer and they were willing to do this. I did provide the Cayman Club install directions, which were helpful.
According to the chief mechanic, who I dealt with, the install went without a hitch.
