What do you guys do when your suspensions compress?

I don't know...maybe I'm nuts, but I need the curve of the tire and the curve of the wheel well to be near parallel to look good.

This "droopy eye" look is just hideous at any degree, IMO.
For those of you that like it, what's the appeal? Why lower at all? Aesthetics? Surely not a performance thing...? Just curious.

BTW just upgraded to the KW V3's. They are gorgeous, I hope to swap them out for the V2's this weekend hopefully.

Lowering your car properly with performance coilovers designed to be used at lower ride heights and with stiffer springs will bring about performance benefits like lower center of gravity and less body roll. Also you can achieve some negative camber by lowering the car. Lowering your car is completely different from slamming it to the ground where it is just useless and you lose all performance benefits of going lower. just my .02

Now that's how Porsche should have shipped them out! . I think lower offset will have the fenders lips sitting on the rims... You probably have massive toe-in -- does the car steer from the rear when hitting bumps? If so you'll need adjustable rear toe links. RSS and Top Speed ( $279) make some.

What kind/where did you find these headlamps? I recently purchased a nearly mint condition 986 yellow boxster with foggy headlamps. I want to replace with an upgrade but do not want to dish out 3500 for Litronic xenons.

Tinkered with the ride height some more :cool:

I love the lowered car except when it scrapes :matchup:

Yellow did you need rear camber links? I ask because it doesn't look like you've got much neg. camber- mines an inch higher and I'm at -2.

It looks good at night! I hate how speed yellow drowns out and gets a bit green at night, particularly under fluorescents but the white rims give it a pop!

Pretty cool. With all the yellow it has kind of an 80's-early-90's air-cooled retro look about it.
