Looks great! I am sure it handles much better too. Only problem is now you can't do that Paris-Dakar run everyone was encouraging you to make!

Looks great - I would almost drop it a bit more - sort of a personal preference though.
Cheers

Looks great. Just did mine this week as well. The handling is great. Now I have to be patient and wait over the weekend to get the alignment. Congrats again really looks good.

That looks great!

Friends don't let friends drive 993s at SUV height.

The handling is a bit off. It was different when I put the 18" on. It didn't seem to be as stable as it did with the 17's". Now with the new suspension on, it's a bit worse and doesn't feel right. I think I'm experiencing a bit of bump steering. However, I haven't had the alignment done yet. I'm hoping it will all improve once it's aligned properly.

Also, after doing this DIY I'm creating an Addendum to Jeff's "Suspension DIY for Dummies" write-up for those of us who do not wrench on a regular basis.
Should be posted later today..... Stay tuned!

Huge improvement let us know what the handling problem turns out to be. Probably just an alignment along with tire pressure thing. Fingers crossed for you.

Looks great. Very aggressive. When you lower it that much it messes up the front toe quite a bit. That's probably what you're feeling. Alignment should fix.
