Very nice car, looks like you don't have to do much in term of cosmetics (Mods),...maybe the gauge-Alu rings, would look nice on your black-black car. Again welcome!

Yes lower it a bit but keep in mind your driveway, looks short and has a good transition area at the top and bottom (if that is your driveway in the pics I see). So maybe a RoW M030 will do you fine, but it's up to you.

The 18's you have look good enough to keep.

I like the cars that have no gap above the wheels, or small gap
The PSS9 might fix that problem??? but also
I think I want a 5 spoke more room for my hand when cleaning, break dust no fun cleaning

I had a 993 with small "springs" I think it was a 1.5" drop??? I had no problem in the drive way
My drive way is the one with the door open in the pic.

I want to track the car...I will not be aggressive on the track...I SUCK...No seat time...one event with M3...but i want to learn!
So with that said would you still put on anything other than PSS9?

If you don't smoke, a cool interior mod is the non-smoker ashtrey cubby ! Great for holding your cell phone, etc., instead of a useless ashtrey.

It will.

Sorry but a sad excuse to buy 5-spoke wheels when other wheels look better on a Porsche IMHO. I can still get in through my wheel spokes to the rear part of the wheel to clean with the correct cleaning instruments when washing, and when I need to do a quick detail I use a Swiffer

There are other suspension systems out there besides the PSS9. You will not get any swaybars etc. with the PSS9's where with other systems you will get a complete kit (M030 or x74 - I am not familiar with exactly what systems are available for your car to be honest). I chose the x74 for mine because it gave me the drop I needed, the kit was complete and pre-assembled, easy install, no adjustments though but that means I do not have to have the alignment adjusted if I adjust my suspension. Do some research on this forum for suspension as this subject has been covered many times before. With 18's and lowered suspension your car will definately be low. Don't get me wrong the PSS9 is a great system to have (street or track), so is the x74 and others.

Keep us posted
