Dave Roberts 928
Dave,
I was admiring the picture of your 928 in your avitar, the car looks really aggressive with the wider wheels, polished edges on the rims, and tires hugging the fender. I went to the 928 Specialist site to view more pictures and noticed something that puzzles me. In the avitar picture, the front end looks like it has been lowered, but in all the other pictures (on the (928 Specialist site), the car looks like it is set at the stock ride height. Am I seeing things, or has the front end been lowered? Was thinking of have that done to my car which is a red 86.5 (lowered and maybe polish the wheels) cause I like the look. Was just wondering.

I wouldn't lower it much, it just looks healthier at or around the right height. A 928 looks like and old Caddy when it's rear wheels are up behind the lip of the fender, just my opinion.

Simple answer, some photos were taken just after the wheels were installed before it was driven and the suspension settled. The "speed" shots would be the most accurate photos as far as height is concerned.
Thanks for the compliments and glad you like it!!

No, it is lower than factory.
Take a look at this photo and you get a better idea. If it wasn't in the air on the lift behind me I would give you the height specs.
