Default Some pictures...just because

My wife wanted to try out her new camera she just obtained so why not take a few pics of the 911's right? I know the ride height police will get an upset stomach so maybe it will help their uneasiness to know that I have MO33 springs in the garage waiting to be installed on the cab. I have no intentions to lower the SC. I bet it would look real nice but it is bone stock other than an aftermarket radio, so I'll keep it that way. Enjoy.

Here is a couple more. I shot a few at the Newport Concours a few weeks ago. The bad *** RUF Twin Turbo is a Rennlist members car.

Lowering the SC is pretty simple, involving rotating the torsion bar on the rear suspension. An alignment is all that is needed after the proper ride height is achieved.

Wow, didn't know it is that easy? So no need for new pieces?

That easy. Well, maybe not if you're doing it yourself the first time............

(Only thing you'll find is that your suspension bushing ARE shot, especially the ones on the rear spring plate. Won't believe how much better the car will ride when those are brought back to factory new.)

Well maybe I lied about being stock. I forgot that my Father had Bilstein Greens installed around 1999. They have less than 10k miles on them so shocks should be good. If it is just new bushings then maybe I will go ahead and lower it. Thanks for the info. I had no idea. I need to visit the 911 forum I spend all my time here on the 993. I always seem to grab the keys for the 993, but every time I take the SC out I say to myself I need to drive this car more.
