The KW's feel great huge difference from stock and now feels like its on rails around corners, wheels are BBS SR with 8.5 on the front and 10's on the rear. I didn't dyno the car pre and post so not sure of the figures. It feels considerably quicker through all the gears and more responsive. The upgrade were well worth the results!

Glad you like the KW's. Very expensive upgrade. Last week I installed a Fabspeed exhaust. Difficult to notice very much power increase, but sure sounds sweet!

Looks terrific! Too bad winter is coming here in the Northeast. Maybe you can bring it to next years PCA concours event usually held in Brookline Ma at Larz Anderson. We can trade stories.

Wheels look great. What offset are they and what size tires do you have on them?

Thanks.

Are you getting any wheel rub?

Some people probably think I always say this but I think some door decals would tie the wheels together. There's a light blue 911 on the Butzigear Instagram with the font that I think would look great, it's not as "busy" as the traditional PORSCHE lettering with the triple stripe. It's a cleaner look that would pair well with your non-aero lowered profile.
I also wonder how the Boxster would look with the Porsche lettering across the front of the bumper. Might be cool idea for our photoshop experts.

All I know was the rims were 8.5 front and 10 rear. Drop Dave at butzigear a quick mail and he can give all the details...
