just got the wheels on today, sun was setting but the pics are half decent..

susp height is good and rides decent but i would like everything a little tighter so might go to damptronics maybe or something along those lines...

Very nice!

Have you considered new motor mounts to tighten up the car? I recenly got the Porsche Rennsport motor mounts from Carnewal, and it makes a noticeable difference (description on their website is accurate in my view). http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96189.htm

There were some somewhat recent threads on motor mounts in the 997 or 997TT sections that you might want to check.

the car has motor mounts, and a slew of other stuff.. once i'm done i'll do a decent shoot and list everything... i feel a "slop" between front and rear... obviously not connected. but it's a difficult feeling to describe.. going to drive a friends car w/ damptronics this weekend (GTS 997) and see what route i wanna go.. my engine is strong, my exhaust is settled, wheels and brakes are superb, interior done.. exterior done... my only qualm at this point is suspension feel.... but maybe it;s GTR and Atom making me think i should have a better feel but cant.

i also HATE the power steering on the car, but thats from my other cars without it.... obviously not taking that off.

Nice Riley. Saw it on FB. How big are the lips in the rear?

thank you guys

what wheels did you go with?

they are smaller than they could be.. i retarded 1/2" off not sure about the PCCB... so theirs 3/4" gap spoke to caliper.. but better than negative anything..

pm me for info... i'm actually gonna maybe change it next week.. not sure... i have a wobbly feeling i'm chasing... not sure if my butt dyno is off or what... i'm also comparing it to totally diff vehicles. so i'm going to debate this next week..

thank you... i could have gone 345 on 13" with ease, but really liked the 325 on 12 when i did it on past 997.2.... great feel without being too much.. AWD doesn't need anything more on the *** end anyways.

thank you... i took some better pics tonight w/ vehicle detailed.

btw, size wise.. i can't be more happy with the 255/325 decision... i ran 245/325 on 997.2 C2 and it was ok for RWD but the 255/325 feels great and fits great on the 997TT.

and the size variance is same 2.5% as stock.

Overall it looks great. Not 100% on the finish though.

There's a lot going on with the orange corners, bright red tails, yellow calipers, black scoops, and bronze wheels. I'd like to see it with smoked corners and white scoops.

rijowysock

well, the cars as they come have red tails and orange corners.... i love the look.. i'm going to get the "red/white/blue" HRE center caps so it will tie wheels to car and tails better.

the satin bronze wheels being all bronze are very tame, and they match the interior perfectly... so the wheels match the interior perfectly and the seat backs match the exterior perfectly... so it kinda goes back and forth nicely imo.

the yellow calipers do "jump" out.. but can never go wrong w PCCB and they pop with the bronze... i wish however i did a shorter backpad on the rear wheels and maybe on the front if possible to let the calipers show better, because now they are somewhat hidden and dark behind the wheels especially since the rotors are bigger than the face of the wheel.

as far as the scoops.. i love em black, they match perfectly with the black plastic lower skirts.. and mend with all the window trim and such.

to me it looks very coordinated, but if we all had the same taste we would all be wearing the same clothes and driving the same cars.
