None at all. One reason we like the 10/10mm spacers. I actually just installed a set of BC Forged wheels with similar offsets with the spacers. No rubbing there, I'll post some pics when I get some photos.

Whaaaat? Please don't tell me you are ditching the most perfectly modded 992 cab for a T!

Hah thank-you, but yes that's the plan! Getting a T in the same color as yours

Nice! Congrats on your T. Looking forward to seeing your work on your next blank canvas!

I'm sure it's too soon for the 992, but do you or any Rennlisters have 5-10K mile experience running a HAS setup with a minimal to moderate drop? The main negative I've read about is a spring change only impacting damper reliability/performance and subsequent declining ride quality. Thoughts are appreciated.

Guessing that's attributed to possibly different dynos/conditions. Either way, your 1/4 mile time and trap are definitely great and hitting what they should be.

We've installed many here. I don't have any long-term updates but the ride quality is pretty solid if you drop the car in a modest fashion. We've done quite a few different set-ups. You will sacrifice a little with ride quality but it's very incremental and the lower center of gravity gives the car a more direct feel, absolutely it reduces body roll. I'm stoked to get our 992 back out on track and feel the difference closer to the edge.

Yes, all dynos read different. Our testing was done on a Dynojet chassis dyno. I believe M-Engineering does their testing on a Mainline Hub Dyno. Hub dynos tend to read a little cleaner/higher because there is no loss at the tire since they bolt directly up to the hub versus strapping a car to rollers. We're hoping to pick up a hub dyno in the near future so we can explore more with testing. Right now we rent time from a company down the street and given the scheduling and expense, we usually try to rent it with logical groupings of parts. For example, I won't rent it to learn the difference of an exhaust or IPD plenum in isolation. It would just get too time consuming and costly. If we had one in-house, we could probably handle more of that data collection. Our next plan trip is with full bolt-ons on these turbos.

For us, it's really about understanding the differences with data. So the deltas, area under the curve, etc. Absolute numbers can very quite a bit. We do all of our testing as consistently as possible. We just verify with independent data in an efficient manner. It's probably most indicative of the average Joe running their car. If you're someone who hits the drag strip every other weekend, plays with tire pressures, or goes out at 3AM to get 60-130 times, you'll make our numbers look pathetic! We love collecting the data and sharing it but our focus is really on customer service and support. The data helps us provide more insight but we don't have the capacity to say rent a drag strip and test all day to get a time. We leave that up to the community I do hope folks find this helpful and a good data point, but even one test might not be absolute given conditions, etc.

I threw on some BC Forged RZ05 Wheels (in Gloss Black) with some slightly wider (+10mm) Michelin Cup 2 tires.

Specs:
Front 20x9 +48 (255/35/20)
Rear 21x12.5 +70 (325/30/21)

I couldn't make up my mind which color I was going to lock in for my Carrera T, but these photos you posted yesterday (I think on Facebook) were what sent me over the edge for Gentian Blue. What an amazing looking ride you have there!

I do have a couple questions, if you don't mind.

1) In the testing you did above, was that on a 93 octane tune?

2) the drag numbers you posted are very impressive, but do you think they would be any better if you had an LSD? Just curious.

3) Are the black parts of your front bumper grille gloss black, or matte?

Thanks!

Wow what are the suspension details?

1) Yes, pump 93
2) Yes, an LSD would likely help put traction down better, maybe a smidge quicker
3) Matte, all factory, have the OEM lower lip.
