Default had my car lowered

Love the way it looks, sorry she is a little dirty, had her in for new brakes, flush fluids, plugs and figured might as well go a little lower!

A dirty car means you're driving it so I can only appreciate it.

Looks perfect now. How did it change the feel of the suspension?

Looks really good based on the pictures so far. No side pictures though so hard to tell if you've added spacers already. Lowering tends to tuck the wheels into the well which is easily fixed with inexpensive spacers for the perfect stance. But then....if you're happy with what you've got, never mind.

Looks great! Use the same Eibach Pro Kit on mine and it came out perfect. Did add spacers and I feel it made it even better. PM me if you decide to go with spacers. I have a couple of sets left from my trial and error approach! Lol. Have literally 50 miles on them and we’re only installed once and then removed.

Love your wheels too!

Wow... I’m sorry but this blows my mind. Coming from bmw forums where everyone knows every aspect of their build to the Porsche forum is totally different. I see this all the time where people just have a shop put **** on the car and the owner is clueless about sizing, offsets, suspension... etc.
anyways, car looks nice, just might wanna learn your car better.

To be fair I think ajcjr is in the minority of RL - not being able to recite wheels stats
Car looks good
