Some updates after I finished the Turbo brake installed and finished with the suspension and wheels... Still need to get the suspension setup.

I like the look of the 19" lobsters with the Mk1 Aero... think it goes well but that's just me. Spaces are H&R 7mm rear and 15mm front:









Cheers

purplxd, did your HR spacers come with longer lug nuts too? or were you able to retain the originals. I too have 997 wheels and would like to push them further flush to the fender. Do you have any rubbing issues with the 17mm in front?

I used the longer lugs front and rear.

I also used 15mm fronts and there is lots of clearance, same with the 7mm rears with 295 tires.

great, thanks for the quick response. I'll look into a spacer kit now that i know i'll be safe from rubbing. your cars stance looks perfect! How much did you lower it?

It went down about 1.25" but its not setup perfect yet. Needs a local alignment/corner balance guru to make it all perfect.

I set it close to ROW Sport settings so it could be moved onto a flat deck to be towed to their shop next week... Friday will be the first road test.

Cheers
