Thanks! It's lowered on H&R x Rotiform "deep" coilovers. One of my next projects will be doing a wheel alignment at home with Smart Strings - I will try to get some exact ride height measurements at that time. I would just be guessing if I threw a number out there now!

Currently at about -3.5 deg camber rear and -3 front. These are just rough measurements before setting up some shims on the garage floor to level everything properly.

couple more shots. Next project is fixing the drooping exhaust tip on the left side. Going to start by replacing the motor mounts (have the Rennline tuneable ones).

Hi everyone,
I just purchased and refinished Cup IIs for my 1998 Cab. I have been looking for them ever since I purchased my car last year. As far as I'm concerned, there is no nicer wheel.

When I bought mine it had mismatched 996 OEM and aftermarket twists. Went back to the way it came from the factory.

It’s arena red metallic. It changes from a dark maroon in the shade to a metallic red in the sun. This particular pic is in the shade so it looks more dark maroon.

I’m biased, but I do love the color. Definitely what drew me to the car even though it needed some work. Here it is in the Texas sun. Definitely see the metallic here.

Haha! I was looking at the pic on my phone and it looked way too dark for arena, hence the question!

Nothing better looking than the original Cup2 wheels on a NB. Twists look great on widebody.

Porsche designers know.
