Thank you Ed. I will await your pictures on tuesday. The pics you provided show a height that is not as low as I would have expected.

Ed, I just checked my 02 C2 with factory 030 Sport suspension and I have at least an inch, maybe an inch and 1/2 extra space over my front tire compared to yours. You can really see the difference, so I imagine you can really feel the difference on the track.

PS.... It looks like we have the same good taste when it comes to wheels , clear side markers, and a silver type color for the auto!!

The pics are not of my car, they are from someone in Germany. My car has about 2" from the tire to the wheel well. I hope to have all of that dissapear tomorrow. It will probably take a few weeks to settle also. I was told the pics were from when the car was brand new and it has settled a little since then. If I am not happy with how low and tight it is, it will end up on ebay and I'll go for the cup car parts. I'm sure I can find a nice home for the X74 in someone's car that is driven more on the street / less on the track.

Noted an article in GT magazine (Barnes and Noble).... features 996 (red C2) with the -30mm suspension. Looks much better than stock.
