Just saw your post Alpine......................and man, you sure know how to dress your cars! I'm taking mine down too but not sure if I can drop it that low where I live? Might have to do 3/4 inch instead? Will send you another PM. It sure looks great and I already know how you like it! So far your advice has been spot on in helping improve on the stock suspension. Can't wait to see your new set of rims although your car looks perfect as is.

Talking

I am almost as bad as Gradyex Just kidding bud...




Here is a different view of what the spacers look like on the 997 turbo (same size as Alpine only better photography). The suspension is otherwise stock (not lowered). Windows are tinted 50% using Madico Advanced Ceramic.

Just drop it 5mm more - you think it will save you at that point by going 5mm less? It's like a 105 lbs chick asking if a 44DD is too much and would a 42DD be a little better?
Don't think so - put on the cheapart splitters and just GET ERR DONE.

Thanks jamie and chrissurf and everyone else.

I got the silver hood crest from Eric and they turned out great. I will send you some higher res photos of that. I have my splitters put on tonight. Got the hardware last night(THANKS ECLOU!). Only Lowes carries the parts.

Eric is working on the silver steering wheel crest as we speak.

Nice shots of the car and do you eat off that garage floor? Time for me to get it resurfaced or tiled.

Looks great! Did the springs negativly effect the ride at all? I was thinking of going to the Techart coilovers but sounds like it may not be neccesary. Where did you get your springs?

VERY nice choice of mod. It sits very well. Also like the color matched bumper and rocker skirts.

Thanks all.

Jiaim - i have them in 3404x2336. I shot them with a lesser camera this time. Was too lazy to switch lenses.

Shoot me an email of which ones. I have others.
C'mon, let us do some turbos in that sucker. I can get you to 690hp before our lunch break...

Looks sick, btw...
