Nice job on the wheels and wheel wells. Hesitant to start this as I know that once I start cleaning there, it's a never ending process.

I washed the salt off today and was reminded that Jet Green was the right choice.

I lowered my coilovers 1" all the way around, put on my summer wheels/tires and added the quad-black exhaust tips I got on ebay this winter. All in took 4 hours. Now I just need to clean her...lol

Thank, they’re 957 GTS wheels. I always really liked the look of these and they are a perfect flush fit on the 958.

Idk... seems kinda low. Literally reminds me of those low riders. How stiff is that thing now, and did you redo alignment? I bet that camber is negative 9000.

It’s stiff for sure, but so much fun to drive! Last summer I left the suspension at the higher setting, this year I decided to drop it down some more. The biggest downside is when you go over bumps at low speed there is more road noise that comes into the cabin. It doesn’t feel like it needs an alignment but I usually get one every time I bring it in for a service, so we will see in another couple months. It’s mostly my winter car but I take it on trips in the summer when I take my dog with me because his crate fits in the back.

Are they 20 or 21"? If they are 20", does anyone have a set of those laying around that they don't want to use anymore ?????

They are 20" but I believe this design came in 21" as well. I wanted 20 so I could still run light-duty AT tires and I found this set locally for cheap.

Awesome work. Would you mind sharing what coilovers you have and sharing photos of it with other ride height settings?
