I just picked up a car I have dreamed about getting since I was probably 5 years old. I traded in my Cayman S at Park Place Porsche in Dallas for a 911!
I purchased my Cayman S (Cayman Kardashian) in 2007 and enjoyed her for 8 and a half years. Here are some photos of both cars.
Right now the 991 is at EVS Motors getting the royal treatment including rims, suspension, detail, clear bra and tint.
The 991 is a C2 with the following options:
PDK
Bose
Premium Pkg
PSE
Sunroof
Power Steering Plus
So far the mods include the de-badge for the 911 emblem and the clear led side markers.
The rims I am getting are Vossen CV3r and the springs are TechArt.
Hopefully I will be complacent and not feel the need to do anything else. I am going to for a "OEM plus" look vs a full-out modded tuner car look.
I read everything possible on the forums for springs and was debating between the H&R and TechArt but the TechArt springs seem to have the closest to OEM ride quality. Since this is my DD, I wanted it to be as comfortable as possible.
Both the Cayman you traded in and the 911 are beautiful... Congrats on the new car, I love the white.
Just curious ... what is the reason you are swapping out the springs ?
Also how do you like the 911 compared to the Cayman, I know you just got the 911 so maybe this would be a better question after you put some miles on it but so far what are your impressions.
I just got my car back from EVS. I could not be happier with the rims, tint and stance. I stuck with the stock wheel size and think they look great with the drop. I was wanted to minimize wheel gap without affecting the handling and ride quality. From what I can tell so far the TechArt springs achieved this.
I will report back on Cayman vs 911 differences when I have more time with the 991 as a daily. For now, here is a pic. Let me know your thoughts!
