Yup it's from the bay area... It's got ROW suspension bits... Anyone know the car? I'm digging the white... Black would have been my first choice, to match the Tundra & Land Rover.... Love black, it's a love hate really..

Not sure if it is a problem or not. Here in CO where the roads are not perfect, that road height could cause clearance issues.

I know at some point a car can be difficult to get aligned properly if it's ride height is too low.

The car probably has adjustable road height shocks/struts, so it can probably be adjusted up if need be.

Look at the tires and see if they are wearing unevenly.

GL!

I'm no Porsche expert, but it just seems like ROW springs...

LOL well, what I should have said was.... does that look like the proper ride hide, for that suspension setup?

Cheers!

HD's have adjustable spring pearches, from looking at pictures; the white one looks very nice.

That's the same suspension setup I have. The HDs are adjustable for height. Mine is set at between ROW and RS ride height. That car looks to be maybe just a tiny bit lower? I have no bump steer or alignment issues. I do have a slight rubbing when I run 285 width tires on the rear.

You guys might not think you have bump steer issues being slammed, but go measure the suspension through its travel and see how much toe changes..........................................
