That's why I would modify a set of spare struts and keep the street ones stock.

Doug, how far did you lower the car with the stock spindles? They might need raising anyway.

And once raised, the tire really should not shred the fender unless you're going too fast into a driveway ramp or something. You can stiffen the front suspension a tad. I'd consider trimming, not rolling the fender a tiny bit. Over 1 degree negative, and the car will feel really funny on the street IMO.

Bad news - These are not adjustable (other than the small adjustment at the top of the strut mount). Not so excellent for street use. Unless you confine most of your driving to the canyons, you get wear pretty quickly om the inside corner of the tire.
You might consider adjustable strut mounts on your car.

Yeah, thanks. They're on the list.

The trouble with modifying 911s is not that Herr Doctor Porsche would be offended. He wouldn't. No, it's the fact that the possibilities are endless.

^ That elicits a weary nod, sigh, and blank knowing stare from me.

No kidding. I wandered into Einmalig this morning in search of a hand full of fasteners and a second fog light switch for my twin bulb Cibie lights and almost can't get myself to leave there. They have everything I want and more. Must be a half dozen longhood cars awaiting restoration.

You are getting too close to the oven again. There is a 911 cab inside with 993 panels on it that would be perfect for you...that one even has a motor.
