as promised pix.

HDs and H&R





and what it was

Vandit

Wow, it looked really high in that pic w/ the Cup I wheels and stock ride height.

The Cup I wheels look so appropriate on this car. Sometimes I want to get some to replace my Cup II wheels.

Very nice. I like the cup 1's a lot as well. Initial impression with the ride quality and handling?

Makmov

I agree, I didn't really like the Cup wheels but nothing else seem right on the car. I got such a good deal on them I put them on and wow, it's just right.

Makmov

Thanks

Very good. I was worried it might be too harsh, (it's very stiff) but the ride quality is very good and it's a completely different animal now. Handles great even with the snow tires on, which are soon to be replaced by Conti Pro DW's and some new brakes.

It was a bit unsetted before in very high speed coners (it would get all sawnky) but now it is very planted and sure footed, and a lot of the understeer went away.

And it hasn't even been balanced or aligned yet, and it's a huge improvement over my very worn out original Bogies.

Looks great! Having just done this I know how pleased you must be with the results.

Guards red, cup 1's - just beautiful!

Looks great! Did you go with the H&R reds or greens?

That looks awesome...

Very nice, Makmov.

I have to say that those "before" pictures look way too high. I don't think I have seen a 911 that high this side of the Rothman's Paris/Dakar car. :-)

They were purple ,which I think is the new greens color.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it was annoyingly too high. It looks more Porsche now for sure. It did not have anything weird or odd in it when I took it apart. Looked like all factory. Orange stripped springs Bogies stock spring perches. Maybe it was that five years sitting on jack stands before I bought that made it sit so high.

That's exactly what we were saying, "Looked like the Rothman's Paris-Dakar 959."

Makmov: Very nice! You will now find yourself checking out your car as you walk away from it after a drive. People will talk Sweet set-up!!!

Really nice improvement! Looks much meaner and more agressive. Surprising what a huge visual differnce a little lowering makes.

SuperUser

great job, looks ready to go!

Makmov

Thanks everyone!

Yes looks more like what you'd think a Porsche should look like.

While it looks good it's not quite ready to go yet.

I still need to do brakes, while they are not bad they could be better. And it needs some real tires and 4 corner balances and an alignment, which probably isn't too far off since I used a protractor to put it back together as close to what it was when I took it apart. However, it probably has too much toe in. Drives great. I want to settle before taking it in, which it's doing. It's probably come down another 5-10mm.

I am still a little tempted to put the D90s back on.
