^^^ looks good. Little hard to see with the light in the after pics. Did you do spacers (looks like not) and alignment? Nice driveway by the way - love to have one like that.
Thanks, the car has OEM factory installed spacers. It was on option I didn't expect to see on the original build sheet.
This weekend we are taking a road trip from L.A. to Monterey so I'll be getting some better pics in better light, and better (than my brick driveway) scenery.
had my car dropped on KW v3s coilover set and i love it... very very compliant . I've seen some varying opinions on them for sure but i do like them a lot. i def need spacers on the front. not sure if i should go 5 or 7mm since I'm running wide body wheels the rears are fine.
First two are the "BEFORE" from this morning, NEXT two are the "AFTER" from this afternoon. Difference in ride height very subtle, perhaps they will settle in time.
Ride comfort is the same (thankfully).
Looks great and I do like the subtle drop rather than an aggressive one, glad I purchased Eibach. Mine get installed on next weekend...eager to see it. Thanks for the pictures. I will post as well...on the 15th

Looks great! Glad to hear that the ride comfort stayed the same.
I believe that the ride improvement from mine is because I don't have PASM.

I think that looks great and as the lowering springs pull the tops in a little I think if you put spacers on especially the rear you will see more of the line your looking for in my opinion as that's what I did
Guys, what is the general rule for letting new springs "settle". Putting Eibach springs on this Saturday and wondering how long I should wait before getting alignment done.

I've read on multiple places to wait for approx 100 miles before you do the alignment, however the guys at Champion Motorsports recommended to have it done right after installing the springs.
I don't think there's much "settling" with the Eibachs. My car looks identical right now (after ~300 miles) compared to when the springs were just installed. Besides I trust what Champion says. They know what they're talking about when it comes to Porsches.

Sorry, I meant to post an update. The spring install has been postponed until I have a couple of days that I can spend at my buddy's place. Since he has a lift it makes life much easier.
We did dig into it a bit but decided that trying to get all 4 replaced within a 10 hour day was pushing it and we certainly want to take our time and be cautious. The plan now is to wait until after Christmas and get together in January. It doesn't appear to be a quick and easy DIY, but absolutely doable.

Which rims are those? the Techequipment's or Wheel Dynamics? Also, is that a 997.2?
what is the front wheel offset? 8.5 et56 or 8" et57? i can help you with the front spacer measurement. if your rears are 11 et51 wide body then you should be perfectly flush in the back.
again, beautiful job
