I agree, the front height looks too low given how the rear looks. What are your ride heights as measured at the chassis points? Has the car been corner balanced?

Otherwise, looks nice.

The front is all the way up actually. I posted another thread regarding height, and the consensus is that the H&R kit does lower it pretty far. A little more than I was expecting to be honest, but I love it so far. The rear does need to come down just a small bit. I have not measured height yet, other than fender height which is about 25 1/2" rear and 25" in the front. It has not been aligned or anything yet. Waiting to see what happens with these hurricanes before I start making plans at the moment.

Nice work Justin! So while I was swapping bumpers you were installing the suspension? Nice!
And I love the pics as well.

Nice pictures Justin. What photo equipment are you using? I don't think they look over photoshopped--very cool pictures of a very cool car.

Thanks Joe.
Using a Canon 20d, and for these, the 18-55mm kit lens believe it or not. Oh, and a tripod that's about 600 years old

Some of them are multiple exposure HDR conversions (first one and the last two). Still learning as I go.

Justin,

Don't get rid of that 600 year old tripod. The old tripod my brother uses could hold up a house, it would cost about $1500 to find buy something that robust now days.

I really like the lighting on the first one, the colors are rich and full. I am not sure what HDR (I am a Nikon guy) is, but it looks awesome.

Here is a fun suggestion with your Photoshop program. On the black and white photo the building looks great, but your car (the subject of the photo) doesn't pop out at you. Make a layer of the photo, cut out your Porsche of that layer, and convert that to B&W (or any effect you like). Your car will be full color with no effect apply to it, and the background will be changed. It is a pretty easy technique to make a cool effect. (actually it is what I did to my avatar).

Thanks for sharing,
--Joe

Based on your preliminary fender height measurements, you'll probably need to come down almost an inch on the rear in order to get the correct rake and proper alignment. Be prepared to see a minimum of 1.5 degrees of camber on the rear. If that's the case, you may want to go with RS spec alignment.

Great pics and gorgeous car! I also really like the background. I've been searching for a good one around here to get some nice shots of mine, but haven't stumbled on anything that spoke to me yet.
