Sure, if you like off-roading

I daily'd my C2S which was lowered with H&R sport springs in a city with roads that are likely worse than most with no problems. The odd scrape here and there but nothing major.

Agreed. My car is also lowered with spacers. I can't stand the wheel gap. I have no problems being lowered. We have too many hills here and I am still fine.

Aw come on...its not like its the Dakkar 959. haha. IMHO they hit the bulls eye on the C4S. I rarely choose sport mode as I like the standard setting. If I want to scrape the driveway and avoid potholes, I grab the Ferrari keys.

My silver car is lowered on a Damptronics, but has a cargraphic AirLift to deal with driveways and speed bumps protecting the RUF front bumper, but my wife's pink one has stock PASM suspension. Since it's an S with PASM and sport chrono, it's already lower than some other mddels as it comes directly from Porsche, and it's her DD, so we left it alone. With the 19x12 GT3 wheels running 305s, fills out the fender wells and sits just fine IMO.

That pink car is amazing. Any better pictures or side shots?

Not lowered - don't see the need as the car looks good as is and the roads are crap in NYS. Had to lower the 993 because it looked like a Land Rover but have to be careful and its only ROW.

An "S" is about an inch lower already so no need for more and I scrape speed bumps & curbs all the time already anyway

Sporty

Not lowered, base C2, 7 & 20mm spacers. Sometimes it bothers, me sometimes not. I have a steep driveway but i am planning on lowering with Eibachs in the near future anyway, hope its not a mistake.

Of course there are

We bought black on black knowing we were going to do a color change (that's the best combo to start with if doing that - did the same thing on our Cayenne Turbo S).

It's a pink pearl with TT rear decklid, Vorsteiner F&R Bumpers, some Makassar interior trim pieces & GT3 wheels.

Here's the before



And the afters:

everyone is not lowered, until they're lowered.

F308gt4

Not lowered. Daily driver. I do have 5 mm spacers on rear, with Fuchs style wheels.

leon yagudayev

I am. Spacers but not lowered. Have a techart front lip that's scraping driveways as it is lol

911-997

Such a beautiful color. I didn't realize it is a wrap until you mentioned it

EMC2

Mine is lowered with TechArt springs. Not a daily driver so I can choose where I drive it.
Stock springs, dampers and sway bars on 997.2 C2 just don't do the car justice, if you want to drive it like a sports car, and don't need it as a DD imho.

If you do need to DD, then there will definitely be certain parking ramps etc that would be an issue with scraping at the front. However as a point of reference, I haven't come across a speed hump/bump that has caused an issue (even the high ones). It's just approaching steep ramps nose first, that causes problems.

(EDIT) [I should clarify that I have the 991 SPASM Front lip installed which is a quite a bit little lower than the stock 997.2 C2 front lip. As stated earlier, it is only very steep ramps where you have no option but to approach head on, that can cause issues. Small price to pay for the better stance and firmer suspension.]

I haven't lowered my '09. I have 15mm spacers on the rear and 7mm on the front (bad pic).



I hadn't intended to lower mine, but I recently looked at and rode in Gopirates' '09 cab on new Eibachs and I have to say the ride wasn't noticeably worse and the look was much nicer--I believe he's running the same spacers as I am, too.

So, while I haven't done it, I intend to do it. I just have a treehouse and a truck restoration I have to do first.
