New shoes

My 997TT got new shoes. Champion RG5's and Michelin PS2's all around. I like the results and thought I'd share a few pics.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I'd like to lower it just a bit. What's the suspension upgrade of choice? This is a daily for me, not a track car.

Can of worms.
Suspension, coilovers or springs? Lots of discussions on the above.
Easiest is springs, some people are against it, most expensive is coilovers.
I went the spring way. No complaint so far. Went with H&Rs. You can also have eibach, techarts and GMG's.

the wheels look small!
You need spacers and a drop asap.

a timeless wheel design, looks great. with a drop and GT2 side sills that would really finish her off nicely.

If it's your daily with no track duties, I would recommend springs as well. As the gentleman said below, the H&R's are actually a good route. They maintain a good balance of styling/performance/comfortability at a great price.

If you're interested in getting some H&R's, contact me for pricing. I guarantee a low price, and quick turn around times.
