Beautiful machine and I'm drawn by its posture. What do you think? RS height or lower??

seriously slammed and actually looks lower than my last car (04 cobra) & therefore driveway inclines, gas station entrances, speedbumps likely will always be a "challenge" to front spoiler/underparts

yeah- looks low to me too. My car is RS height, and it's no where near that low, unfortunately.

Henrik! We have the same car! 1990 C4 Cabrio with Cup1's and Marine Blue paintjob

Though my dad badly scuffed one wheel rim at a parking lot and now we are considering painting the rims satin black! Probably not going to look as good as standard colour but it will be a change....

Yes but the 964 on the photo posted by ttAmerica has 18 rims. The height is almost the same.

Ciao

Good observation from Paolo. If you look at the front and rear tires, there seems to be just as much rubber covered by the fenders on both cars. Maybe it is RS height with 18 inch wheels....?

It is lower, actually when You get the 18" on with Rs height it looks even higher, done that on my c2.
So like Rasberry says, Looks slammed.

imo, no debate invited, lowered decently is nice..... BUT slammed looks gorgeous at park but is not road friendly (been there/done that), getting into a driveway/gas station a challenge and speed bumps become obstacles to be crossed only slowly/at angle
