looks real good Mike! That may be my next mod after just having spacers installed.

I love the yellow with the black wheels too!!!

Nice garage, I see it is a tight fit- I extended my garages 10 feet longer on the 2 front facing, and 10 feet wider on the single garage on the side of my driveway.
I sometimes forget how nice it is to pull my wifes SUV inside in a pouring Florida rain, close the door, and be able to open the tailgate and unload groceries......................................... ...................

Looks very nice lowered. Still debating which way to go on mine. Anyone experienced problem with the PASM with just having the spring mod and not changing the coilover?

I've had HR springs intstalled over 2 years ago with 20K...all seems well. Anything I should worry about?

I just bought an '05 about 2 months ago... installed the H&R's and love them. The car rides a bit better to me now. Definitely feels like it's on rails. When lowering the front, we noticed Porsche now allows you to move the front shock/strut down about an inch. Extra.
So if you wanted to lower your car down about an inch in the front without buying springs, I guess you could.
I installed the springs AND lowered the car by sliding the shock/strut tower down the extra inch. The front of the car looks VERY low... and STILL rides great. I'll try to snap some photos when we lift it back up and do more work to the front-end. We're in the process of installing a different bumper & hood... so I'll see if I can take those photos to explain better.
