I don't know how low this is, because it's fictional!

I thought some of you might find this interesting. Photoshopped myself a setup that's WAY out of my budget haha

Out of curiosity, has anyone run a setup this low on the street before? Thoughts?


Now that is stunning. I've been toying with the idea of doing a 'Veedub' style 944 for a while now, and may well do it one day when I've got my fix of track days. The rear lights in your image look 'chopped', with the inside 2 squares missing - could we do this? Can't remember what they're used for now? The Volks looks great, but how's about some deep-dish 17" BBS RS's?

This is the lowest 944 I have seen, it's running 8x16 993 cup wheels on KW suspension I think...

Here's a picture with a set of BBS RS's on. These aren't deep-dish enough for my liking, but there's something about the 944 that makes it look better with more modern rims IMO.
I'm very tempted to go with some hellaflush fitment when I get the funds together, but I still enjoy driving with the ability to go over speed bumps.

Now that looks smart. Delete the bumper side lights/reflectors, detrim the rear bumper and side rubbing strips, put some flush door handles on and run it on airbag suspension - dream! The guy with the red car above had to cut back the jacking points in the sills because they kept catching over humps!

Lol hit a squirrel and the car will explode on impact.... thing would be terrible for any driving other than track i would imagine.

I wish my 951 was lower but I already have to puck up the car around .5-1inch to get my hydro-jack under the front... probably cause the front struts are slightly over due
