In my opinion, lowered with 20's is the best look on these cars, with 19's lowered looks outdated and off to me.. Just my 2 cents

looks fantastic lowered, had just posted a thread about exact same thing, interested in the reduction in comfort for road use, any comments on how it rides as opposed to handling etc would be appreciated, regards Scott

Not sure if that was directed to me, but since I'm in the Main Line area outside Philly, I'm assuming so. I had AWE do it. Great shop - with their national profile, we're fortunate to have them and Fabspeed both locally. Dougherty in West Chester is also high quality.

She looks awesome...I was going to ask the same question (NFG I asked a question upon registering and it posted "somewhere"). I just bought a Guards Red 997.1 TT and was thinking of doing exactly that, including Eibach (I had them on my 2000 Cobra R model Mustang and that car was sweet)...thanks bunches for the pics and descriptions. One Question: are the wheels at 20 inch the same width as OEM, with the same width tires? Also I like the sidewall height of your tires, what are they?

I'm running 9x20 in front with a 245/30 and 9x20 in rear with 325/25 tire - all tires MPSS. I like the fitment - no rub, fills out the well, but not bulging or tacky in any way.

If you don't like the stock clutch feel (I HATED IT!), look into the BBi clutch slave + GT3 spring. Night and day difference - heavier, more predictable, more engaging feel. Not a power mod (I haven't done any such mods), but probably the only reason I kept the car more than a month, b/c the stock clutch was the worst clutch feel I've ever felt - I had a Craftsman riding mower 20 years ago that felt better than stock.
