Introduction... New 997.2 owner

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself, as I'm new to the forum.

I recently purchased a 2010 C2S :-)

I know pics or it didn't happen lol. Attached are a few pic... I think it needs coil overs I cant get over the wheel well gap... looking for opinions on which ones to go with?

Looks like you are another local PNW owner. Welcome! The stock suspension of the S is already pretty good. Unless you want to get rid of the PASM and go with a full race setup for track time, there's really no need for full coilover setup. I have the techart springs on my car if you want to check out the height, you can see them here:

Love the color and the wheels. Somehow the pic is not showing up for me. Had to copy the pic address and paste into a new window so I attached it here for you! Welcome!

Welcome to the club and congrats on your purchase. Looks to be extremely clean. How many miles are on it ? We offer H&R Springs, that offer a mild lowering 1.2" on all four corners. For more information Click Here

Congrats ! it looks great.

those wheels are one of my fav P-wheels (even with extra weight )

unless u will be tracking regularly, ur best option is to keep as-is or get a lowering spring (eibach/TechArt or H&R). For coils, there is prob only one or two (Bilstein PSS10 for one) that will let u keep the normal/sports mode for the PASM

manual or PDK ?

here is a big pic of your car:
