Default GTS - pimp my ride

Since getting the GTS, I felt it was wearing high heels. Nice high heels, but since it's parked next to the GT3 and GT3RS which are low, it felt a little out of place!

So we just had the GTS lowered with H&R lowering springs:




You can also see the center locks in black, we also had those done. Was never a fan of the grey.

It's the little things when pimping your ride.

Looks pretty aggressive but I just have to ask, how do you keep from scrapping the crap out of the front spoiler with a car so low? (I couldn't back out of my garage, let alone driveway, in a car that low without doing damage.)

Cool

Great looking ride! Enjoy it.


But as someone who has been driving Porsches since 1975, please refrain from using "pimp" in any context with a Porsche. It's just so wrong on so many levels.

The lowering springs moved the height down about 1", so it's not super low. It does mean that approaching driveways needs to be done at an angle, but it's not too bad.

And with these springs it's at the same height as the RS 3.8.

Here's one ... I do want to get some better pictures of all three.

While I hear you, I have to say that there are a few P-cars running around out there which have been ruined by someone checking all the check-boxes on the aftermarket options!
