Default Lowered the GTS

We're on the way home from Whidbey island! We just love the GTS.




The car is lowered a bit w/ H&R springs and we've had the gray center caps painted black.

Looks great (your wife....haha). I had H&R's on my first Carrera and quite liked them.

Your photo is a little deceiving as the front is already part way up a slight incline. The H&R drop is nice.

Your GTS looks great at that height. Did it scrape while you were driving on to the ferry? Mine did last week when heading back to Seattle from the peninsula. My '07 C2S isn't lowered but does have the factory aero kit. High tide is okay, but low(er) tide not so much due to ramp angle.

Here are some more pictures to make the clearer about the "incline":

To avoid scraping, we signal to the ferry employees and we then get off the ferries at an angle. They have always been pretty good about accommodating lowered cars.

Hi Gary, No, I'm not a new member - I've been a PCA member since 1996 (in Bellevue the whole time).

I'm at most of the DE days instructing and will be at the Ridge on Saturday if you're going!
