Default New pics of lowered car w/ PSS9

Just got the car back after getting PSS9 and TRG sways installed. It was lowered not quite to RS ride height (I think - confirming). Fortunately, no rubbing with my 285 rear tires. Just thought I'd post a pic of the results. Next time I jack it I'll take pics of the rear TRG sway bar setup.

The ride is AWESOME! Stock shocks were truly junk after 40,000 miles. Now the car feels like it turns on rails, and I don't find the PSS9s to be too firm at all. Exactly how I think a 993 should feel. Actually feels a bit underdamped so I need to verify that the shop set them how I requested. Mucho thanks ViperBob!

Nice Eric! As big as the improvement the PSS9's made, I love the change you made to the front lenses too. What kind of wheels did you have in the before shot?

Eric,

Looks great! What do you have for rocker panels...can't quite make it out. Do you have a shot of the side of the car? Looks nice with the chin splitter (from Aero II ?)

Thanks for the compliments guys. ViperBob you were so right about how much I'd love the setup.

Rob- The total cost wasn't so bad. Well under $3000 for the PSS9, TRG sways and RS drop links, and front protection bar. Plus $900 for install, corner balance, and align.

Grant- The "before" wheels are RH Cup AG wheels. I replaced them because I just wasn't sure I could lower it without getting tire rub in the rear (their rear offsets are I believe 54mm instead of 65mm). In retrospect, it should have been fine with 265 tires. Anyone need a set of RH wheels?

Edward- My car has a factory option of "factory rocker panels," but I still haven't determined if these are those. I've heard that these look like Techart rocker panels. Not sure about the front splitters either.

Are the RH wheels 17" or 18"?
