i love my new lowered cab!
not sure? but i might have actually lowered it a little too much?
cuts through the snow like butter!
any gravel on the road though, and i have a few problems!

Some shots from my previous 997...I have installed lowering springs, PSS9's and Moton's. What will you be doing with the car? (Road/track, Road only, Track only) Does it have PASM?

Good Lord you put Motons on your track car for DE's??? Let me guess around 5K just for the dampers?

Ok I was close. I only know this from owning a race car. Moton's were up there, but Ohlins are out of this world in terms of price.

Here's a write up and numerous before and after pictures of my lowered 987, in case you find that helpful.

987 Forum post

H&Rs are 1.4" front and 1.2" rear, look perfect (as you can see above) and don't impact ride quality much at all.
