Man, that is the sweet spot for me. Looks perfect, bravo.
Do you have other angle pic ?

Do you mind telling how much it is lowered and if you have wheel spacers on it ?

Good luck not scraping. I had mine as low as that and had to raise it back up, at least with the roads around here. It's sad I know...

Your C2 looks perfect from this angle. Is the TT lowered more or is it just that it's closer to camera?

^^^ Is that radiator duct functional and the does the center radiator get ducted strictly towards the one on the hood or is it split up between the hood duct and bumper duct? Did you close off the lower ducts in the belly pan? Better yet, are you even running a center radiator?

I'm a sucker for CCW10 wheels.

Fuh Raze!!!

The turbo is lower than the C2. I rolled the turbo's fenders with the 997TT wheels, spacers and that ride height. The C2's fenders are not rolled.

The turbo has 15mm spacers all around.

The C2 had 15mm spacers at the front, but the turbo stole them.

I went really low with my last 996c2; K-Sport coilovers, rolled fenders and dropped it until the rears tucked:

Thanks! I used the generic preload settings in the instructions with the Ohlins. Floor to fender I'm at 25" front and 25 1/4" rear.

7mm spacers front and 15mm spacers rear. I'll get some more pics once my aftermarket wheels are back from powdercoating.

You're right, scraping does happen at this height with steeper driveways. For the most part I've gotten accustomed to the ideal approach angle. I can still take speedbumps straight on thankfully.
