Anthinino,
Which car do you have? Mine is 2008 C2 without PASM. I'd like to go your route but I don't see anything on sale at Tire Rack website.!!

Thanks

Can't speak to the H&R coil overs but I do know that the Bilsteins are different for PASM and non PASM cars.

2006 C4 Cab w/o PASM, just checked the site and I appears the sale is on 4WD models only and there is only one set left for a PASM car.

Yep. 5mm front, 7mm rear. The picture I posted is not a good one for spacer reference. For the rears, 7mm is actually a hair too much for the HRE's but that's not evident in that picture. For stock wheels, seems like 15mm is what it takes going by what others have shared.

Looks like you got it just right! Very nice.

Thanks. For me, dropping the car requires spacers to complete the job. The horizontal gap is amplified once you eliminate the vertical gap.

This is my 997.1 on Eibachs. Also added 15mm rear and 7mm front spacers.

Matt
With those spacers (15mm rear, 7mm front) which lug bolts are you using? GT3 lug bolts?

Thanks
