Steve, if you have either I-photo or a Corel product or something similar, you'll need to resize it. Just pull it up in the program, find the dropdown that has a resize/resample function and then save that new sized pic.

here are some pics from today...awaiting the lowering collars.... i guess something in the back of my mind thought/hoped that the front would settle over the couple of weeks i have driven it since the M030/Biltein HD install, but no dice...
when the collars come in, i am going to work with the technician to lower the front about another 3/8 inch.... not sure that i will even touch the rear, unless necessary to keep the proper rake...

For reference, my recently installed Bilstein HDs with Euro M030 & sways from Gert, with the additional threads on the front shocks.
What a huge difference in handling and driveability, not to mention ride height!
Sorry for the poor camera phone quality.

Jonathan, I am thinking that I should have sent you my collars. I kinda like the height your car is at right now. Especially with my funky highway entrance.

Looks like your front wheel is pushed too far forward in the fenderwell??? Anyone else notice this?

Hey mrsullivan, how long have you had your 993? Looks like you got the bug bad, by the looks of your garage! I'm right behind you though, about to order some posters!

texas911, i bought it in august... have always wanted a Porsche... before that, had an E46 M3... i have always kept a fun garage, but i had to replace some of my BMW posters with Porsche posters!
Phil, i have noticed what you are describing also, but i just assumed that it was the result of the M030/HD install... i figured that it would improve as the front came down...in other words, i assumed as i lowered the front another 1/4-1/2 inch that it would also come forward a bit... (???)

Jonathan, regarding your front wheel position -- it's something to do with how they installed the front clip and suspension after the accident... 
Just kidding! Mine looks that way too.
