Carrera White 997.1 C2 Build Log

Three Wheelin'
I'd have said the same things about BC until I got my hands on a superior product, though I was always skeptical that they'd be junk. They work sufficiently and serve a particular market segment well... its why I bought them after all... but that's about it. Even with a noisy damper they still functioned as expected. Their support was laughable, so I decided to move on.
Norcal roads are trash and I ended up settling for spring rates close to stock GT3 rates helping the whole system feel a little smoother... so my perception is likely skewed by that as well.
Either way. Thanks for the heads up about the ducktail... looks to be akin to the Misha design. Did you disable the rear spoiler, or can that thing be deployed as the stock system was?

Got the new decals in, was going to switch to 911 with “Carrera 3.6” on the ducktail but instead switched to black Carrera badge and the subtle “3.6” on the ducktail. Love it:
Edit: sorry for the poor quality photos, I’ll try to get some good shots once the suspension is on

The BC Coils arrived in 1 day, build quality looks great so I hope these guys last. I don't plan on slamming the car so hopefully the moderate drop will extend their life. Tie rod ends should be here tomorrow and if so I'll be installing it this weekend along with my EMC2 991 front lip!

Monday update!
Sunday took a toll on my back and hamstrings but the coilovers are in. Had trouble here and there getting myself oriented with how and what to remove first in order to get the struts out but hey, its done!
Will raise the front another 1/4 sometime this week and get it aligned, car drove straight as an arrow and the initial impressions on the BC Coils is that they do exactly what they should do and ride great.

Over the weekend I installed my Emc2 991 lip with the type a mounting kit. I was afraid it would sit to low but the end result was exactly what I wanted! This will do until an aerokit bumper is purchased:
