White 997.2 progress made - lowered and wheels

All, I found a 2010 base 911 about 2 months ago that was in amazing shape and although I wanted an S this was too perfect to pass up. So far, the car is lowered on H&R's, sits on Forgestar F14 in brushed Titanium and I added the Fister exhaust with Fabspeed tips (tips off my previous 997.1).

I will probably keep it like this for the rest of summer. I am not sure if I want to add the 997.2 GT3 bumpers and wing or just add a lip with a duck tail.

This is what i started with:


Couldn't stand the ride height, lowered on H&R with stock wheels:



Added Forgestars F14, how it sits today....

Did you also go with spacers on the new wheels or is that how the Forgestars F14's sit?

No spacers, that's how they sit.

My stock rims badly needed them but the Forgestars are a bit more aggressive. If i do add spacers i may just do 5 to 7 MM. But right now, I am happy with the fit.

It's amazing what a difference suspension and wheels make in the personality and look of the car. It looks amazing, nice choices!

Looks fantastic. A 997.2 C2 with those upgrades is an incredible machine. That is a better result IMO than going with the C2S with no upgrades - and probably less money. Great result.

I obviously preferred a .2 S and the price of this car was not far off from one but this was a low mile, manual, mint condition and certified car. Plus I wanted white badly. It was slim pickings but I am happy with the results.

It was shocking to me how much the ride height bothered me while driving the car. My 997.1 was lowered and it sounds crazy but I could feel the 1+ inch of ride height while driving it. I bought the springs the next day.

Thanks for the comments fellas!
