In the pic the wheels really do fill up the wheel wells more completely than my '07 C4S but I'm not seeing what I would have expected in the ride height being that much different at the center of the car. Not sure it would show up in photo as well as if the cars were side by side. Do they list the ride height spec for the 997.2 as being appreciably lower than my '07 with PASM ?

 

I've got 3000 miles on my 2009 C2S with the Sport PASM and it has settled in nicely. It does sit lower than my 2006 and 2007 with stock PASM did. The car sits around 1/2 inch lower than regular PASM, it is especially noticable in the rear.

the after market spring kits like the Techart that Sharkwerks is selloing and has pictures of in a different thread looks like it might make the stock PASM sit a little lower than the Sport PASM but not by much. Plus the shocks are tuned for these spring lengths with the lower Sport PASM.

 

Notice any difference in the steering with the spacers?

Your car looks great...just like mine!

 

One beautiful car! Love the color, I have a Boxster the same color and Porsches look great in red. The wheels match the car also.

 

It looks fantastic. But the rears look like the tire will impact the fender under moderate compression. No?

 

mass, did your car come with the painted lower sill and rear lower quarter panel or was it an option?
I think it looks great.
thanks.

 

No, it came like that. I think the 4S has the option of painting the lower sills.

Also I had the factory option of painting the chrome headlight washers as I hate chrome on a Porsche.

Thanks guys for the comments. Keep them coming.

 

Nice touch on those.. We call them "nipples" On the RS we ordered ours is green too. LIke a $300 option, right?

 

I think lowers sill (rocker) paint is $475 option on C2S ...... ($700 on C4S )
Pretty sure lower rear quarter is car color as standard on C2 ..... (on C4 the ABS piece is black .... can be painted at owners expence but not avail as painted option .... same for piece in front of front wheels).

 

This is a great idea. I didn't even know it was an option - though I bought my car used so it was not an option (so to speak). But I'm about to tackle swapping the 997S stock bumper for the GT3 bumper. I really like the look of that front end - and the rear will catch up in a few months as my wallet recovers.
As far as I know, it is not drilled for the washers. Can it be drilled to add them? Do I remove them? Can I paint them?
(Sorry for the hijack. Moderator, let me know if I should move this to a new thread)

 

hey verde it's a pretty easy thing to do and yes you can paint them

 

Cool. Thank you Sharky. Since I have them, I might as well keep them (otherwise, what will that little button under the wiper control do?) . I also have a beautiful SpeedLingerie bra for the car (they make great stuff BTW, though not inexpensive. I don't drive any distances without it) and it has the cutout for the washers. I hope that I can get the bra 'altered' for the new bumper w/o getting an all-new one. They are good folks in MTV and likely will come up with something.
I'll no doubt be pestering this group of experts as I tackle this one (sounds more painful than the coilover thing).

On a side note if the front bra can't be made to fit the new front, I would be happy to take it off your hands..

 

I'll keep that in mind babymd, but it is Carrera White and I believe your sig notes your car to be black, no? It would look like a piano keyboard!

 

I didn't notice that, I would have to pass, thanks anyway.
