That's a great looking color. Is it metallic or flat? I was on the configurator looking at the GT3 in this color and it's listed under metallic but it doesn't look it.

GBM is SUPER metallic, direct sunlight makes the paint pop like crazy, however when the sun goes down the paint goes to a blue tinted grey. super flashy to super subtle depending on available light.

I need to see this in person, sounds awesome. The dark wheels definitely set it off.

How much did the ride change when you did the lowering springs? I want to lower my 718 but don't want to screw up the ride/handling. Would rather spend the money on coilovers if it becomes overly harsh, etc.

Edit: Your car looks awesome!

thanks! the ride changed moreso from the change to stock 18s to 20s than it did when just adding techart springs.

there is someone running some bilstein coilovers, however i haven't heard too much feedback from him about them.

Looks great! GBM is a great color and one of my considerations if I move from my 981 to a 718. How do you like the AWE track exhaust?

Which suspension setup did your car come with? How much do the Techart springs lower vs. the factory Sport-PASM setup?

Thanks

regular suspension, non pasm. they are supposed to lower 30mm, but in my rush to take it to the shop, i never took measurements of the previous stock height.
