How much are those KW coilovers? They look great, but in my past experience coilovers don't provide the best ride.

I just want a mild drop with a close to stock ride if possible??

UPDATE:
Just spoke with customer service for the shop, sounds like I'm getting the tires swapped out for 285/35 tires. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Man thats looking sweet... keep us informed on those Victor's. I'm still contemplating Vic's Turismo's and the Toyos...I was going to be "plebian" and get 20's but you're swaying me!

Say is that Porsche's "Olive"? I just had a loaner while mine was in the shop...awesome color...Thought it was black for half the day!

UPDATE: When I put the 285/35 size tires on, when going over speedbumps the front tires rub when turning steering wheel. Opted to go back to the 265/40. Especially when talking to the techs and going over calculations. The difference between 285/35 and 265/40 is minimal. Speedometer is less than 1 mph difference between the two. Plus the 40 width provides better ride.

Just thought I'd let you know. If you do a search for member name "roadking" he was also running the same 40 width tires with no issues.

On a side note, does anyone know a good shop in Vegas to have H&R springs installed?

Either call Tony (owner and very cool guy) over at Carl's Place or call Kent over at Premier Sportscar Service. They mainly work on 911 variants, etc, for track prep but they are an AWESOME group. They were always out at the track and would always help out in the pits.

My first suggesstion is Carl's Place. Tell Tony you know me and told you to call him up. he'll take AWESOME care of you. Truly a great guy.
