I love the car, but if no one has said so already, you are an amazing photographer. Photography is a hobby of mine, and I appreciate the work you have done here - composition, lighting and image quality are excellent!
After weighing the wheels I went to a shop to have the tires mounted and balanced. I was just supposed to drop them off as it was late in the day, but the tech suggested I stick around to wait for the fronts and knocked them off just before close. The rears will be ready tomorrow..
The front wheels are now on the car and I dropped the suspension almost an additional inch! I am very happy with the results, I will post some photos tomorrow when the rear wheels are on. In the meantime, here is a little iPhone photo teaser:
Wheels look absolutely stunning! it looks great lowered too! I've been following on IG waiting for these updates. That drop makes me want to go to coilovers.

Thank you! You will not regret getting coilovers!

Some garage pics, please don't mind the mess! The front will still get a 1/4" drop and the camber needs to be adjusted. I may also lower the rear just a tad, I have not been able to look at the car from further away yet so it is hard to say what will look good.
Looks awesome and the lighting in the garage pic is very cool - can't even see the dust.
Thank you!

Thank you! I love the ride! The car rides surprising close to stock on nice roads, but does feel firmer and stays very flat in corners. On rougher roads you can tell that you are lower and stiffer, there is no way around this, but personally I like the way it feels. IMO it is the way it should have come from the factory.
Front suspension height is set and camber adjusted, looks much better now. Next step for suspension will be rear toe links and an alignment, but both will have to wait until the snow and ice are gone. In the meantime I may tackle the brakes, I want to clean up everything and paint the non-contact rotor parts satin aluminum and the calipers gloss yellow. Some iPhone pics after:
It was finally warm enough to give the 911 a bath, warm enough for a car nut atleast: 7°c (44°f). The snow is slowing melting in my area and I am hoping to be driving soon, but I snapped some better photos in the meantime. Hopefully these give you fellow Porschephiles a better idea of how the new wheels and offsets look on the car:
