Did you guys have an alignment done after lowering? To what specs?

I think the pavement wants to be closer to you.

It's weird cuz mine with Eibachs seems a little lower than the others Eibachs. It must be the more aggressive offset on the HRE's that gives it that look.

....these 991 Turbos definitely look better lowered. though the stock "4x4 look" isn't nearly as bad as it was on stock 996 Turbos.

Before:


After H&R Sport springs (and Apex wheels):

Yeah, that's pretty massive. My criteria is, I don't want to see the top of the tire tread standing next to the car. Probably why my Macan Turbo drove me nuts..

I don't think the stock height is all that bad on my .2. It also might give me the clearance if I decide to do a "Dukes of Hazard" jump.

I took mine to Prestige, they'll do a "close to stock" alignment. It ends up being about -2 camber in the rear which really is most likely better than "stock". But that's as close a they can get when lowered.

It's not horrible, but I do like a more GT3'ish ride height. Porsche should have really lowered these cars about an inch from the factory.

What coating did you use? Those look very slick.

Should aid in quicker spool up.

I love the look of the lowered 991 turbos, but unfortunately it's not possible for me. I don't think I could get into my driveway with a lowered car, and even driving around in mountain towns can be challenging with the factory height.

It's a high temperature silicon/ceramic coating specifically designed for turbo applications that was recommended by my powder coater... 2,000F. On Kline headers. Bit of a shame to stick them where they will never be seen!
