Great stance. What a difference a subtle change can make.

Your car looks great, I think it should had came this way factory, the fender gap is just horrible. Mine is lowered with H&R as well, gives it a very nice stance.

[QUOTE=CamsPorsche;7775389]Here are updated pictures. I'm running 295's in the rear not 305's and no rolled arches at all.

Fantastic. I have the same car but an S and have been looking at spacers to fatten out the rear end. Tx for posting.

Default Height of C vs C2S...

I believe my C2S is already lowered from the factory, correct? And I do find it hops and wobbles more on uneven surfaces. I've even consider putting 18 C wheels on it. Comments anyone?

997 that comes with PASM is a bit lower but it's still not that low. If your ride hops and wobbles, you might want to check your tires, lug bolts, it should not do that.

So now that I have the Carrera 4 with a wider rear end I'm not loving the wheel gap nor narrowed wheel look in the wheel well.

If I run 15mm spacers again I should be fine considering I'm now running 305's right?

On the wide bodied cars, 15mm rears and 7mm fronts is also the way to go.
Here is mine on H&R and 7mm and 15mm RSS spacers on 305 rears.

Thanks for the info!

I'm wondering now if I should go Eibach or H&R springs as I plan to drive the car in the winter so perhaps the Eibach drop only being 1" would be better?
