Default New wheels and drop

I decided on H&R springs but after going a little negative on front camber it’s just way to low. I am going to switch to some coil overs for more control but dam it looks sick

For a show car that looks great. I'm not surprised the performance has been compromised. That is pretty low for a 992.

Na it drives fine, even better. Just to low for aggressive wheel set up front .

It would look even "sicker" if you'd put that rear spoiler DOWN.

I don't understand why people like to lower or tune their high-dollar cars...especially one that's been designed and built nearly perfect by some of the best in the business. But to each their own I guess. If the OP is happy then that's what counts. Just not my thing....getting old sucks.

If that's your opinion no reason to comment here. Base PASM suspension is hideous high for a sports coupe. There is a reason the SPASM and GT cars have lower suspension too. So base factory suspension is not quite that perfect even in the eyes of Porsche.

OPs car looks great. Speed bumps in my neighborhood is the o my thing limiting me how low I can go.

Wheels look really nice, I love my HRE P43SC on my C63. Agreed that it is a little low, almost looks like a video game.

You've either forgotten where you come from, or were born with a silver spoon in your mouth if you think $200K is not a lot of money for car. I suggest you take a ride into some regular neighborhoods and get some perspective. Nothing funny about it whatsoever...well maybe to a spoiled child...I think people who can afford these cars are blessed and should act accordingly. But you do you. Like I said, if you're happy with your car that's all that matters.

Very curious why you clicked on this thread. You clearly don’t like to mod your car at all so why read a thread titled “new wheels and drop” and them proceed to complain about how people should not mod their car and what their values should be and imply that they are spoiled?

Many people on these forums are enthusiasts sharing our enthusiasm for these cars, how we personalize these cars with OEM and non-OEM parts, etc. If you don’t like modding, that’s cool but why sound so old and sad? You do realize that a lot of why a person thinks they’re “old” is because of their state of mind, right?

I sincerely hope you are able to find some threads in this forum that gives you some joy instead of just making you feel old.

I click on just about every thread and there are many with opposing viewpoints, although admittedly on this one I didn't know what it meant until I read it. If people are too much of a snowflake to accept opposing opinions they shouldn't post things. I also suggest reading my first post. All I said was I didn't understand why someone would alter a $200K car designed and built by people with much more knowledge and abilty than we have; and concluded with that nevertheless if the OP was happy, that's all that really matters. Then I get an arrogant reply stating that $200K isn't a lot of money--lol. And I find that to be the kind of extremely arrogant thing a country club spoiled brat would say because I grew up on the streets of Detroit, been on my own since 17, uneducated, and worked like a dog for almost 40 years; but I've been blessed and made it...thanks be to our Lord. I always put my children first and ensured their security and wellbeing long before ever spending a nickel on myself. And if one of my kids ever made a smug comment like $200K for a car isn't a lot of money, they'd feel the back of my hand. As a matter of fact my youngest daughter this very evening asked me what the new 911 is costing and almost dropped her phone when I told her. That's the kind of response one should expect at hearing how much these cars cost. Obviously I live beneath my means and raised my kids to appreciate money and respect how good they live compared to most.

I'm a car enthusiast as much as the next guy, so why do you think I'm not? Because I wouldn't modify such an expensive car? Because I find it incredibly offensive when someone who drives a premium car thinks he/she is better than everyone else and scoffs at the notion of spending more money cars than Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public spends on their homes, mine included? That's downright nauseating. I said I'm old because I am old and not in the best health. So what? And I don't count on others or car forums to make me happy. Happiness is a state of mind? Give me a break. You don't have a clue what my life has been like so how can you possibly make that statement. Man whatever.
