Moto, nice color combo!

Nice looking Box. How much lower than stock? Do you also have a pic from behind, or flush accross one of the sides? I wanted to see better how much the wheels stick out of the wells (if at all).

Thx.
Z.

Z, I will attempt to take some more photos today. The springs lowered the vehicle by 1", and after a week (due to settling) a grand total of 1.2" all around. Rides just like stock, but handles a tad bit better.

Love your car.

Looking forward to your list of mods and dyno results.

Hey Bisimoto, isn't your badge supposed to be "986" and not "968?"

Bisimoto 03-23-2007 05:44 PM

Good catch...back to the drawing board! lol

That is funny....I should stick to the performance arena, and leave the cosmetic stuff alone. A replacement badge is ordered and on its way :p

Nonetheless, I did the spring install myself, and it took me 5 hours. I even changed my cracked axles boots and brakes while I was at it. Not an easy job, and a lift is a huge benefit. The spring cost me about $300.

I remember when I replaced my own springs, I started with the fronts and it took me less that 1 hour to do them, I was thinking this is going to be a piece of cake...untill I got to the rears, which was a total pain in the @$$! In hindsight the job would have been easier if I would have bought the porsche ball joint remover. (or simmilar tool) this would have saved me plenty of time and effort.

you didnt have to reorder it man, just peel it off and make it say 986, simple as that
