I will be adding a Aero front and I'm wondering what the clearance will be being lowered on springs, especially over speed bumps? Do you hit or rub over them? I have H&R springs and slightly lower. I'm wondering if I'll need to go to coil overs to raise it a little (stock height is too high for me).

Great looking wheels. I had them on my prior 997.

Thank! Clearance is OK, I go over speed bump at an angle same for driveway, back & forward twice also help tremendously. Restaurants & shopping areas in Dallas downtown/uptown areas are steep scrapping is inevitable. But overall it is fine, the look is trade off, the lip is consumable item.

The attached picture give you good idea of clearance distance.

Thank you! Awesome looking machine. The aero front looks so much better - love the GT3 look front you're sporting too!

Thanks. The car was sold and before that the wheels. It wasn't an "S" and it was a triptonic and I really wanted what I have now. I'm thinking of wheels again.

Speed bumps aren't the big problem, it's the dips in the road that are... and you have to adjust accordingly!!!
