Default Finally Lowered w/ Exhaust!

Many thanx to Eric @ SupremePower for the H&R!... been going back and forth w/ TireRack and H&R and finally got them from another supplier... and my local shop Vortex Motorsport for doing the install the day they arrived!













Also got my exhaust done at the same time, and sounds Great :-D (Gundo Hack Sides) like my 997/997.2

Wow! That looks terrific. I just put spacers on my 991 the other day and that made a huge difference but yours really looks great. Nicely done!

Looks great!
Can you post your review of the H&R's please, I want to lower mine too but read tons of posts that they were very harsh in the 997/BMW/Mercs, and sit lower than sport PASM height.
I am considering Eibach's but still not avaliable, they suppose to be not that harsh and low. Maybe H&R change their springs specs this time due to the general consensus.
OTOH how is the drone with the gundo hack? any lights?
What kind of dual tips did you installed?
Sorry for all the questions but I really like what you are doing with your Base. Thanks.

it says 1.2" front 1.0" rear, but was much more like 2.2 and 2.0

the exhaust was a gundo hack done by the shop mentioned (bypass on the side mufflers so the flow bypasses the sides when under higher rev's.)

Looks great. Do you like the car better now, or still plan to get a manual 991?

Looks great, Riley. I guess those are H&R springs to lower it?

I was thinking of doing this to my C4S, but concerned about our crappier roads here and the chances of increased front end scraping.
