...Isn't it a hoot how everybody want to make changes (aka "improvements") and then they eventually come back to original as initially supplied?...check out 356: Gawd, are those folks ever into "original"!

i`ve 10mm spacers in the rear and 5 (or 7) at the front... but with the 928 D90 Size 7' & 9'

I love it.. not sure, if i convert it to the "old" mirrors.. not sure, if it was delivered with them or with the cup-mirrors... plastic-manifolds, "new" mounting points for the coils at the rear.. but not sure about the mirror situation...

well, i`ve still my blue qpe, that is highly modified and in my opinion it makes more sense to separate the cars as much as possible...

So a nacked, frankenstein track-focused 64-Qpe and a quite stock convertible are a perfect combination in my opinion... but my convertible is still lowered and has quite aggressive settings (more than euro RS) and it rides really good in the alps...

My car has been lowered and I already have 15mm spacers for the rear. I'll try the fronts with no spacers but will likely end up with 5mm up front too. I am thinking Continental Extreme Contact DW for the tires.
Nice move! I put my flags back on when the D90's returned to finish off the period OEM+ look.

I think you will want the spacer up front, it looks dorky with D90's when the car has been lowered, really magnifies how far the wheels sit inside the guards.
5mm is good because you don't need to change the studs but if you are used to the look of your car in the avatar, you might be disappointed with how the front looks. 5mm (or 7mm for that matter), doesn't make much of a visual difference.

Even with my 7mm spacer, i think the fronts need to fill the guards better. I'm pricing up a set of 7's from a 944 at the moment and will run them with the 7mm spacer still.
