Trying to post a picture of my car.
This is one of the pictures that Wheel Enhancements took of my car with the new Kinesis K28s freshly mounted. I wish the car was in the sunlight... the wheels look even better. Ok... did this work?

Jebia,
Some guys on the 993 board think its sitting too high, but has ROW M030 springs and shocks. I could see it possibly 1/2" lower, but that's about it. If my shocks start leaking, I'll see about some fully adjustable stuff. Until then, I'm OK.
The 993 Board shamed me into ordering the turbo "S" ducts, so that will be the next step.

Thanks everyone. I think it looks a little higher than usual in that photo because it just came off the rack? The front fender arch is about 25.5" off the ground. What do you guys run?

Steve,
Are you running yellow bulbs? You know that in CA it is legal to run the standard clear bulbs. I have them in both my Porsche, and my BMW. They look much nicer, and you don't have to spend $25 on silvervision bulbs.

Bob,
The body shop installed yellow bulbs, I thought they were required.
KRA993tt,
The wheels are 8.5x18 and 10.5x18. I reused my virtually new front tires 225x40x18 S03s, but bought new 295x30x18 Yoko AVS Sport for the rear. Now that they are mounted, I can see that I need a 245 or 255 tire on the front, and can go with a 305 or 315 on the rear. Next time. And yes, you CAN mix brands of tire.

Thanks for that. When you say 245/255 and 305/315 what do you think the advantage would be? Are you talking visual or performance. I remember now that you are the resident mixer. No doubt that gets you some extra invites to 993TT events

The 225x40 tire is really stretched out on the 8.5" rim, and the rear "stiction" is so good that the understeer is more pronounced. The rear works great, but visually it could look even better with a 315x25.
I've got plenty of time to research tire availability and revs/per mile, but the ideal combo would seem to be a 255x35 and a 315x25. I might need some negative camber on the front to get those 255s to fit, but I was surprised after my alignment that there is so little negative camber on the front. Later I was told I should have used the "RS" alignment specs. Drats.
