no I didnt use tintworks. The guy I used is a contact threw a friend I think he started his shop in the mid 80's or so.

my tint is like 3% or so and I was told the brand of tint but, its something I cant pronounce or spell. I would have to ask the owner again. BTW the owner has owned several 944's and he loves them. He really liked the idea of doing the tint on my turbo. Maybe thats why I have a lifetime warranty on my tint. Cause I was told normally you have to pay alot extra for warranty on limo. Limo is much more expensive than regular tint.

Sorry......

I got the Weltmiester (sp?) #200 springs that lower the car from 1"-1.25" in the front.

The rear MUST be adjusted to match the front end, i didn't measure it or lower the rear myself, but i asked the porsche specialist to lower the rear untill the car sat straight (since the front is lowered).

Derek: No, i am not using the spacers. I tackles the whole front end in one go (Koni inserts, bushings, mounts, seals and springs). The PO CUT the OEM springs down to just under 1". This is not a good job, so i ordered the lowered springs from Paragon. Jason informed me i need spacers to keep stock height, which i didn't want.

But take car, i only have just under 2" of ground clearance. This doesn't matter to me since we have long, wide open roads that i tackle daily on 100+mph. I can't even run the AIR splitter since the car is so low now.

To lower it over 1" I would think you need to re-index the rear the bolt adjustment is not that great...

It took him ~1hr since the bolt was rusty as heck, and he "measured" the hight.

He drove the car roughly 3-4 times to make the rear "seat in", then he would measure and double check the height.........this is what the manual says about the rear height:
