What is the height of your garage door rail from the ground? Thanks!
I don't park anything underneath it. About 10 feet to the rail. I had a lift at my old house in a single car garage. Parked my jeep under the 911. Got the lift to work on the car and to store garbage cans and snow blower underneath in winter so I don't have to go outside.

​​​​​​​It is a direct lift.

recently put some 295 35s on the rear and 255 35 in front. Meaty setup. Iike big sidewalls.
Looks great! was thinking of going to 295/35 instead of 295/30 as well. Looks tight, did you have any clearance issues?

Well I can finally contribute to this thread...

H&R/Bilstein B8s/15mm spacer all around. Absolutely loving the setup. Ride and handling are better than stock. It's sharper and handles flatter yet somehow is more compliant..magic.

Glad you like it, I’ve had a blast on the track the past two years with this setup.

Mine recently with 245/645, 305/680 18’s.

NYC has some atrocious roads so proper ride quality was a requisite

You were 100% right. This setup is pretty much all I could need. Will probably add some sways in the future. Love those OZ wheels by the way

I think you'll be happy with that set up. I have H&R springs with Bilstein B8's and RSS adjustable toe arms and love the way it handles and rides.


On 19" BBS LM. Not currently on the car and I may sell them soon.


On factory '02 5 spokes (current set up)

Here's my 2003 C4S on H&R springs and Bilstein shocks. I'm running factory 18" twists with 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm (I think) on the back to get as flush as I can. I run @Rennline extended studs, which I 100% recommend not just for spacers, but to make wheel mounting easier. I'm running 285s on the back because I was afraid of fender rub, but I think I could go with 295s and still be fine.





I've been focused on mechanical restoration this year, and plan some cosmetics in 2023. (Paint correction; painting wheels "white gold" or similar; side script; tartan interior inserts...)

19's and 18's. Looks good on 19's but clearly feels lower on the 18's.
