Boo Boo - you have to upload pics first using the "upload" link at the top of the page.

Surf Twang - You will NOT believe this - Ben has a Porsche licensed pedal car for his birthday and the bloody wing mirrors keep working loose! I've reattached 'em 3 or 4 times already!! Could KS be hereditary???

Jens - thanks, I do try to keep her clean. Although Peter C's pics always, always look like the car is positively GLEAMING. Peter, what are you waxing with??? LOL!

What springs did you use and who did the work? I need to get off my rear and get mine done. Notice any trouble with driveways and the nose or tail dragging now?

Pete, I used H&R 965 springs along with Bilstein struts. No problems so far with speed bumps or driveways. I had a local guy that sells me my tires (has for a few years anyway) offer to do it prior to doing my alignment. Initially this was going to save me a few $$$, however I ended up paying extra as I had to change the springs 3 times to get it right!!!! (long story!)

Howard, really looks nice. I have the factory M030 setup on my '90 and your profile looks very similar. Big difference all the way around. Here are few pics of the Super Beetle.

Congrats!

Steve

Very very nice!!! When my car was lowered earlier this year, I also had doubts about whether the rear was too low - but the handling is great and the look grows on you!

Steve - I absolutely LOVE BBS LM's on white 964's!!!!!! I saw a white C2 for sale recently (cab..yup I was tempted!) and the first thing I said was, "it has to have BBS' on there!! Gorgeous car, thanks for sharing!

Ruairidh - yup, the look does grow on you , you are right. I think I always liked the look of other peoples 911's lowered, but wasnt used to seeing it on MINE!!! LOL!

Looks great. You may want to consider some spacers for the rear -- it looks like the offset is a little "off". Check out the pics of my car in the website below for a comparison.

Nice ride... I alway loved the look of black porsches I'm still looking to adjust my suspension. How much did you drop it? Where did you get the clear corner from?
