Would you mind posting a picture sighting the car from the front driver's side down toward the tail? (to get a good look at the offsets)

I posted a similar pic not long ago and some thought the offsets wouldn't look good. Now that you've gone and done it with a very similar setup to mine, it will be easier to see (and justify).

Did you change the sway bars at the same time?

I will try to get a few more pictures tomorrow. For now, I've decided to keep the stock C4S sways.

Here are some other ride heights for comparison from the PCA article we reference so often. I verified that I am at 25.5 all around.

Funny. The owner at TPWS said that about my car, but I don't think he meant it as a compliment.

Scott...it looks great...I think lowering any 911 makes them look racier, cooler(80's slang)......

Yes, but it was a small group. Bob took us on the older route - we were not Lake worthy!

I'm O.K.now...just got back from a nice run in the country and my pent up need for speed has been purged......even treated myself to a "Goodberry's ice cream treat".......now all I need is for Hale Berry to sit in my lap during the Daytonna 500......

Hi, everyone,

We had a great turnout on Saturday. Here's who showed up:

Rich (911 Cab)
Dell (Arena Red 996 Cab)
Charles (Blue 996)
John (new sliver C4S)
Martin (Black C4S)
Jeff (Gray 996)
Ken (928)
Dave (Silver 997)
Peter (Arena Red Boxster)
Bob (Black 996 Aero)

We also had a great drive after we left Wake Zone - 5 cars were on the drive. Despite some rain, it was a pleasant drive.

Have a great week, everyone. See you next weekend.

Bob
