Nice looking car. And I thought my car was low.

I keep feeling drawn to comment on it. Wow. I like how you have "stanced" it without the wheels sticking out like a freaking south central LA lowrider (as seems to be the current definition of "stance" in some circles). Wow wow wow wow wow.

Great that you finally posted up here, I was debating with my friends what suspension you were running. Coming from the VW scene I thought you had gone air, and I'm still blown away by how low you get around. Even guys on air don't ride that low ON show days. Do you end up chewing up the fenders or quaters?

I'm curious on the switch from KW's to the H&R's. Do they offer higher spring rates and valving so that you don't bottom out?

Overall I'm a fan. Love the way you made everything work, and the fact that you took it to the 'Ring is epic on many accounts.

I thought the same, even read the speedhunters article a bit ago too!

Love the work you have put into it, the attention to detail is amazing. The color is also stunning! Absolutely a dream to ship my 964 out Europe and drive it through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Croatia.

Lots of drag and drop with the pictures going on my end haha!

Also curious about the suspension switch!

The steering geometry is quite poor at that height. How did you address bump steer?

"Just another 964"? I think not.

I first became mesmerized by your car through the Speedhunters post, thanks for showing us what went into the project. It's my dream to ship my car back to Europe (straight to 9meister!) and then do road tour much the same as you did. Your project is absolutely inspirational, thanks for sharing.

How was it received at Worthersee? It seems like more and more 964s are popping up in different scenes like this. It looks so small and simple next the the other cars.

Yeah I second that motion - way too low for drivability. Credit for her actually seeing track at that height though! Lol.
But the finish is gorgeous! I would paint the seat backs (if not already) mint to match.
