That's because the wheels are clean!

How much lower than stock?

Hi,

sorry and kill me or not but I dont see difference on the pics. Maybe the pics are taken directly after installation. My Ex- 911 cab needs more than 3 weeks before the body comes completely down.

Found a cool picture pushing a S over the Nurburgring on motorcycle-nl.net. I know the car and the owner. It`s a S with lower H&R springs (minus 40 mm) and BBS 21" wheels.

I asked him if he`s not afraid pushing the big ship so hardly over the Ring ( he kicked 993`s asses with the cayenne!!!) and he say no prob, if its too much the cayenne starts drifting....

He`s a good driver and normally pushes his GT3 on the Ring.

Default Very interested...

I am in the process of lining up this mod as well. More details would be greatly apprciated? Including where you found the techart springs and for what cost? Everyone I have spoken with said they had not been released?

Sorry, I have Techart and Tequipment confused. The Tequipment lowering springs are to be the same price and would not "void" the warranty. I was confused. Though if they are not out by spring I will have to make a choice. Did you also an alignment after swapping springs?

I lowered my Treg with Ebach springs and it came down the perscribed 1.2" on day one. Since then (three weeks) it has settled another 3/4" which is fine with me but now that it is about done, I will get an alignment.
Same with Vette, they recommend waiting a few weeks before alignment.
