Dropped the car off at TAG Motorsports last Friday. Job done including alignment in a day. Here is the result. My personal opinion: just about perfect. Put a couple hundred miles on the car over the weekend without experiencing any road clearance issues. I'm very happy with how the car looks now. Road feel seems to be pretty much the same as with the stock spring set. Did I mention being very happy??!!

TechArts with stock 20” wheels. Had the shop drop the rear a bit lower. Looks much better now. Ride is perfect for me. Have yet to scrape front lip. Rear is adjustable so make sure you find the best setting for you.

Koven: Where did you get your Techarts installed for $500 in the Bay Area? That is much cheaper than the quotes I've been getting. Thanks.

Just put almost 2000 miles on the car: drive to/from Ruidoso, NM with a detour to do some alien investigations in Roswell. ((They're out their. Thankfully the museum staff assured me that if I kept the little lime green sticker that proved I paid to enter the museum handy, when/if aliens came to abduct me I'll only have to flash the sticker, and the aliens would let me go. Great to feel secure. Yeah, being abducted and experimented on might be interesting, in a way (sort of like having your 911's engine fail - interesting, in a way), but I'd still rather avoid the experience.)) Fully loaded car with the obligatory organic wine cases, beer and more. Never bottomed out at all here, there or anywhere during the drive. Running 75-80 mph on speed control: 33-35 mpg. Has to be good.

The day after my return I joined our SDR chapter's concours display area alongside the San Diego harbor. I did not lift a finger to clean the car. Instead I put a big sign on the windshield, "Yes Virginia, There are PORSCHE OWNERS that actually DRIVE their PORSCHES!!" Upon parking, each 911 guy on either side of me started detailing their already spotless cars (while shooting me the evil eye). I put up the sign and strolled off to get some coffee. More than a few folks stopped to read my sign and take a picture of my bug guts encrusted 911.

All in all: Life's Good!!!

I think your drop looks perfect

Can you explain how the rear is adjustable?

I'm trying to find cost on installation of springs

The rear spring perch has multiple notches/ groves in the shock body itself in order to set the height/ preload for the car. A C-Clip/ large snap ring holds this in place.

Thanks for the quick response, I tried calling but not able to get thru

Any suggestions who sell the Techart lowering at the best price shipped, not very familiar with the vendors here. I'm new

I have a long list to get done
