5mm wheel spacers?
Does anybody have the OE 5mm wheel spacers on their 997? It's in the order guide, and you get them from the parts dept. Do you like it?
I was bored the other day and had the dealer install them on my 997C2S. It improves the stance a little, but it's subtle. Now, the C4S really needs some spacers or something, because the wheel is tucked way inside the fender well, IMO.

Synergy--How do you like your H&Rs--ride height, feel, ride quality, etc?? Were you able to get factory specs back on your alignment settings?
Thanks! Just made that move on my car an am looking for some additional insights.
BTW-so as to not completely hijack the thread, you can easily purchase and install Por$che or H&R Trak+ 5mm spacers on your car arrives. Shouldn't noticeably affect handling, but will help Porsche's offset conservatism looks-wise. Offsets are so bad on the 987 (would need 15 mm spacers) that I just changed out my 19" wheels.

The H&Rs are wonderful and the ride is similar to stock, however much better handling. The look is much more agressive and overall I am very pleased with the outcome.

Ray: I have driven my 987 for several hours now after lowering, and can find no bad behavior (i.e. feeling of mismatched spring/shock, roughness) at all. I love the look and how it has tightened up the ride about 10% with little change in ride quality.
I have a non-pASM car, BTW.
