Growlin'! Still haven't done any before/after power measurements yet. I'll wait till there's more airflow stuff and an ECU tune to install... =) Accelerating sounds much better now, however.

it's so rare to see a proper aerokit on the c4s or any 911 for that matter. a sight for sore eyes i tell ya! the twist wheels are trademark porsche and may well be my favorite oem wheel ever. the 996 version. which you and I have... just that my set's gathering dust in storage.

been thinking about putting the H&R lowering springs also. heard many negative comments about putting them on without appropriate upgrade shocks etc. how do you like your setup? also, heard the labor is extensive and not worth doing it. like to hear what you think. im not into the tracking, just daily driving... thx for you input..

Yeah, I hear you... I had a hard time even finding decent pictures of the Aerokit on a C4S! Actually, my picture search is what led me to the kit. =) Still, swarms of 996 cup cars riding on 10-leaf mesh wheels can't all be wrong... your wheels look the business. If abandoning stock, that'll be my route.


To the poster who asked about H&R springs, my personal taste is to increase damping when increasing spring rate. I just prefer to avoid any extra oscillation when quickly turning in.

Glad someone brought this thread back to life.

She's very stock - but somewhat of a somewhat unique color...

I think the pic is a little crooked too.

Thinking about powder coating the stock tips - or maybe picking up some Techart tips... I've tried to polish the stock ones back to life with a sponge soaked in Brasso - worked to some extent after about an hour (each tip).
