Congrats on getting your 993tt back. The paint looks spectacular.

Ride height is a subjective point, though I'm definitely in the ROW camp. Porsche never intended the ride height necessitated by the US DOT. Tony Hatter winces every time he sees a US spec 993....

Yes, great paint - I did the same with my AR 993 Turbo a few years back too - but to complete the look at least take the car to RoW height, it really changes the look of the car. I can tell you, that first paint chip will hurt!

You guys are correct about the ride height.
you can get a nose bleed up there.

that said I have trying to keep it all original as new thinking it would add points in car show

on the fence About it

i also have an arena red 993 turbo. Your paint job is spectacular.

on ride height, I keep my car bone stock... religiously. However the only change I made was using the row turbo springs. It’s all OEM. Just the intended ride height.
