Here's some pictures of my 2009 with the Techart 1 package, on 19" stock wheels with spacers. Not lowered at all. Although lowering looks good, I think it looks great without lowering also. Too many potholes around me. It scrapes enough as it is without it being lowered. Put the RSS skidplates on the front spoiler (cheap additon) and it protects it really well for when you do scrape.

Car gets huge amount of looks and thumbs up now compared to before the Techart kit.

Good luck!

Serious question, do the sideskirts get in the way? Do you have to really step over them? There is a 911TT with the TechArt I package that I am looking at. Those skirts seem WIDE!

Looks great! Subtle but nice. Is the rear bottom a Techart rear diffuser?

I am thinking of a Type II or Vorsteiner kit too.

^^^^Wow this is gorgeous.
To europeankar, IMHO, yes it looks good without lowering height. That said... it will look off the chart fantastic lowered!
Here is my humble front lip only car:

Sorry to sidetrack a bit from the OP's enquiry, but - Very nice pics! Is that midnight blue?
IMHO, I think it looks great as is. The sideskirts add a lot to enhance the side profile, accentuating the side vents and width of the car's rear. If practicalities dictate that you can't lower it, which would likely be the case in many locales, it still looks awesome!
Thanks for sharing. Look fwd to hearing more from others who have the kit too.

Here is a couple of rolling shots of mine with the Techart Type 1. Lowered or not, it'll look great on your car.

That's what I did and very happy, along with the Techart front and rear spoiler.
