Default Lowered with Volks (Photoshop)

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?



And for reference, here's the original (my car)



If anyone has any photoshop requests, I'd be glad to help out (time permitting, school's nuts).

Of course the 500 pounds of snow might have caused a little settling as well................

Well, I recently lowered my 944 to about that height, visually. Most people consider my 951 to be really low but now the 944 is about 4 inches lower than the 951 in the rear. Not really sure how to describe it.

No pictures yet, but I'll say this... I can't roll a regular 3-ton floor jack under the transaxle without having someone lift up on a rear fender first. Once the car is running (hopefully soon) I'll go out and take some new pictures.

Thanks everyone!

JohnKoaWood, that fender clearance is beautiful

alxdgr8, I saw your car on these forums before I started posting, looks great! I can only dream to find a huge deal on them haha

drift a 944, I'd love to see those pictures and see how streetable the setup is, a 4" to 5" drop is roughly what I've photoshopped

Elliot... How is that to drive? It seems 4 inches would cause havoc.

Johnkoawood.... What all are you doing to yours?

No no no! It's like 4 inches lower than my 951, which is also lowered!!!

I haven't driven it yet since it was lowered more, because it's not running yet, but soon, very soon!!!

This is honestly the only picture I have with the new lowered look. It's hard to compare against this 924S because the fenders are so different.

I will get new pictures before the end of this month hopefully. The car needs to run first.
