With those wheels your car would look amazing with a 1-1/2" drop suspension kit.

Opps... I read your OP again and you already have the car dropped but to me it doesn't look like it. Maybe it's the perspective or angle in the photo.

At this point I'm already getting close to having issues with the roads here and the driveway at home. Plus what I really want is an aerocup kit. Not that I'll be buying one of course . I keep wanting new wheels but my friends think I'm nuts. Not that these wheels are bad but I prefer a sleeker wheel design. Say an HRE P40S in gunmetal or black.

Still haven't been able to find out exactly what the springs are. Not that important right now.

Ahhh, who needs the Rockies…
All you have to do is head south and east a little bit. I hear the appalachians are fairly nice.

Or you could tell the spouse you're going to Ikea. We've got a great big one here.

Always nice to see a 911 in the mountains, just looks right. I'm planning on taking mine through BC in a couple weeks, can't wait!

Well done! I love the Launch Edition it is my favorite 997....took me 10 months to find one myself. The PCCB's are spectacular.

I read they only made 330 Launch editions can anyone confirm that?

Also what tires are those you're running...look a lot wider than mine...

Already read some of the posts. He's from toronto, popularly believed to be the center of the universe. At least by 98% of Torontonians. I'll take him with a grain of salt. already have a few friends in the forum but in the 993 and 997 GT3 forums.

Looks very similar to the car on the Excellence cover this month. I believe they share the same wheels but not the ceramic brakes. Nice!
