Your cars look great! Do you have the H&R street performance coilovers? What is your ride height? How do you like the feel of your suspension? I am leaning in that direction.
thanks,
Jim
Thanks. Like Mlee I also have the Street Performance coil-overs. Im not sure of the exact ride height but it is quite low. Though I haven't had any problems with clearance. The streets here in Los Angeles are dreadful, and the ride can be rough with the tire setup. I think I will be going with 30 or 35 sidewalls on the next set of tires, and will raise the ride height slightly to accommodate. I purchased the car a few months back with the current setup, which included new tires so I'll deal with the ride quality for now.
Pic in my signature is from when I bought the car, H&R springs and stock shocks. Loved the look, but as a DC daily driver it was just too low and harsh - the latter partly attributable to the front shocks being knackered.
Swapped the whole lot for a Euro M030 setup and am delighted with the result. Still preferred the lower look on the H&Rs though.
Vdubjetta02 - might I respectfully suggest you consider some wheel spacers? To compensate for the offset difference with the Carrera III rims I added 7mm at the back 15mm at the front - after the sig pic was taken - and vastly prefer the look.
Am I the only person in this forum that likes stock ride height?
Nothing against ones who prefer lowering but I somehow preferred stock.
I pretty much like all ride heights. After being lowered and going back to stock though it looks like a 4x4 rally car until you get used to again. But the nice thing is I have a rough road on the way home that I can take the 996 on with stock shocks. But it's too rough and I bottom out too much on lowered coilovers of any kind.
