Latest picture. Should I lower my car more?

It's adventurine with gunmetal wheels so dirty is ok sometimes. People keep telling me to lower it more. It's brand new Euro-spec M030 shocks and springs and handles super well especially with the lightweight wheels. It never scrapes even on big bumps. I don't think I'll ever lower it no matter what people tell me.

Latest Pictures:





Dirty picture!!! But so clean haha jk. I love driving in the rain with the new Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons.







My friend bought the same set of wheels for his Blue 97 Cab the next day after her saw the new wheels on my car. I didn't mind.

if I do lower it, what springs would work best with the M030 shocks? and not be too low. I don't want it scrape on everything, since it's my daily driver.

You can adjust the front with the spring perch. Porsche makes varying thickness shock mounts for the rear. You can get almost 3/4in lower from that.

If the shocks are not already blown, H&R has a nice set of lowering springs. If you want a set, let me know, I have one sitting in my basement.

these M030 shocks and springs were brand new installed less than a year ago, the original 95 993 shocks were SUPER blown though hehe.
