I just picked it up last monday. I plan on getting an alignment, corner balance, & go about an inch lower once I find a shop around me that I trust to do the work. Other than that the only plans for modifications are sport seats, momo prototipo, & a fabspeed exhaust somewhere along the line.

IIRC, it was 24.5" front and 24.75" rear but I was on 17s then. I just told the shop to put at least 1 finger clearance gap upfront and 2 finger clearance on the rears. It was basically set 3x until I got the height and ride quality I wanted. Initially it was too low and drove it to settle the height but the ride quality was awful. They redid the rears to lift it a bit as the tires were tucked in and drove it again for a few miles. Once it settled, a little lift upfront and that is where it is now. Had to install a bump steer kit and turbo tie-rods and finally had it aligned as the measurements were off and it was floating on flat roads.

Congratulations on your new toy. Love the 951 in your signature.

Ya, low isn't all it's cracked up to be. My car is right about where yours is. I was hitting the front tow hooks every time I drove it.

Fortunately I know how to weld so I made my own string jig.

Awesome! Thank you. I'll be sure to keep those specs in length.

I've gone back & forth driving the 911 and 951 & they are completely different cars. I have learned that a red 911 grabs a lot more unnecessary attention than a 951. Neither will be leaving me for a long time.
