New to me 2004 911 C4S

Good evening everyone! I am a new owner to a 2004 911 C4S. I have had a few Porsche's and recently went to a newer model Camaro. I couldn't stand being away from a 911 so I traded the Camaro in for this. Any suggestions on mods??? It's completely stock, Retro Kit done, new clutch, refinished wheels. I would like a lower stance and maybe a different steering wheel and shifter.

Has the clear bra. What is a good site to find popular mods for this car?

I have them on my c4s. They aren't bad but, if I could choose again I would pick the H&R's for just a few more bucks. As long as you don't go too low you will have a great ride. I have them all the way down in the front right now and even though it looks HOT you do feel the road a bit more. It's not as bad as I have heard others explain their cars to be like with other types of suspensions but it does have a bounce. The issue is they run a generic spring rate with a helper spring. My suggestion if you buy these is get a new helper spring through H&R which is fairly cheap and it will match the 996 spring rate much better.

As for mods the first thing I'd do is slam that pig. Put some 19's on her then a spoiler, carbon hood, mirrors and tint. I have a fabspeed header and exhaust and it sounds amazing. Palestar another member of this site has the muffler delete that he got on ebay for 90 bucks. It sounds extremely good. Sounds a lot like my fabspeed set up that costs as much as a used car. The only difference is it isn't quite as loud but it still screams. If you want the "seat of your pants" feel then I highly suggest a sprint booster. The best three hundred bucks spent. Makes it feel like a whole different car. If you love tunes then a double din head unit or iPad mini is a great update to the stock radio. Lol I just basically listed out my car hahaha minus a few other goodies

nice car - great color.
Stock is boring, mod the junk out of it.These cars are great platforms but are somewhat lacking from the factory.
Enjoy.
