I think you will see more settling - there's no visible gap between top of tires and fenders on my 996 with H&Rs. I absolutely love the lack of body roll in hard cornering. Enjoy!

My stock 06 997S cab shows:

Left Front: 26-1/2" Right Front: 26-3/8"

Left Rear: 27-1/4 " Right Rear: 27-1/2"

Seems like a lot of work for such a gain, but it's an interesting comparison.

Love it. Here's my old 996 had H&Rs too.

no offense intended, i know you're a true enthusiast. but if you drive it near the limit the difference of 20mm is HUGE

I'm just not good enough to drive a 911 near the limit. Heck, I've only been driving them since 1976--only 33 years.

How much is a set of 4 and what's the best place to get them?

Here is another data point.

My car with the P17 option (off the lot) measures:-

Front 26.25"

Rear 27"

Both sides are an exact match.

For comparison purposes, a Stock RS is as follows:-

Front 26"

Rear 26.25"

Again, both sides are exact

there appears an internal contradiction in your response...

if you are indeed that good, you would not have replied as you did.

fwiw, i have you beaten by four years

That is another reason Edgy's car is such a vibrant color...he needs to be sure that people see him coming so that they can get out of his way........

Mike,
We are finally getting some consistent sunny weather in the NW. I am loving the new exhaust in the GT3 and will be signing up for some DE's again this year. Need some new street rubber soon, stay w/PS2's? R888's look like a good option. Have cups for the DE's.
Thx,
DE.
