Cool Bilstein HD/B6 + H&R's: post your photos

*Soon-to-be 964 owner creating cliche thread alert*

Was hoping if anyone with the ever-so-popular Bilstein/H&R suspension setup could please post some photos?

I've been spending the past 2 days doing research, reviewing various threads, and I'm still as perplexed today as I was when I started looking into this two days ago regarding ride height, etc.

Simply put, can you get a C4 down to RS ride height with this setup? I see some photos (like the one of Tarek's car below) where the cars sit perfect, and others where the cars sit a bit high.

What I can't seem to figure out is if the suspension is adjusted to be as low as it can go, will it be low enough? And yes, I realize drivability is sacrificed by adjusting the suspension to go as low as it can go.

Thanks in advance and sorry for creating what I suspect may be a redundant thread for long-time members of this sub-forum.

Mine also rides on the B6 and H&R Sports. I do wish I could go slightly lower but to get the car perfectly corner balanced I had to go a touch higher since some of the spring perches were already at their lowest setting.

Thats my car and it was perfect height! It was a C2 though (doesn't matter) suspension was exactly that, Bilstien shocks + HR springs & i had 7mm spacers on rear i think (not recommended because you lose a turn in the lugs) + Mille Miglia CUP1 wheels

Here’s a stance pic and a shot of the threads. Could go a lot lower, but it would be real-world slower where I live and I might not be able to make it up my driveway...

I also hate fixing the 964 frown

Both of my cars have Bilstein B6 and H&R springs. I am in the process of renewing the Bilsteins on the cab after 100K driving miles. Very happy with them.
