wow...wouldn't change a thing...two thumbs up!

 

great car! Very nice photography too!! what camera do you use?

 

5D - 24-105mm L F4 and 50mm 1.2

Thanks. It was quick shots to post.

 

Awesome car!!! How much percentage did you tint the windows Alpine 997?

 

Pardon the ignorance...

But that's a 911 Turbo AWD, why are the wheel sizes staggered? Won't that cause the computer to have a small conniption?

 

Thank you. 30% Legal Tint here in Georgia. It's Huper Optik Ceramic Tint. I had the fronts tinted as well. 60% you can't tell if you were driving at night or even during the day. But the clarity is amazing. Kinda like having a polarizer on the front windshield.

Asad - Turbo's have never been non-staggered - so no complaints. Correct me if I am wrong but when has there been a Porsche(outside of SUV) that wasn't staggered? 914?

You have to keep the staggered setup within 1-1.5%(correct?) so that it won't throw a fit. I did the 20's to make sure it feel within that tolerance.

 

ALPINE 997 what suspension do you have ?

 

H&R Springs only. But I find with the 20's the travel seems to be more than with the 19's. With the 19's they were really great with the OEM wheels and tire setup. But with the 20's it's not rough at all but softer almost. Great at highway but not as tight and smooth with the bump steer around corners. I putting on the KW V3 for the 997 Turbo next week to tighten it up some. If I kept the 19's I would not change out the H&R's but with 20's I think I need to change it up and the price point of the KW V3's is very reasonable. I didn't know they were out yet been waiting but they have TBA on their website but they are available.

I don't need PASM capable coilovers - dial it in and go

 

I have TA coilovers and with 19" performance and comfort is very good but when I change to 20"s the story is different the car feels loose hmmm 20",s are only good for looks.I have both anyway.

 

Luis - I would recheck the alignment specs. I might have to pull mine in a little(camber + toe) but many of the tuners are running the same setup so i think coilovers would help it out where springs just can't handle the extra size. Not sure yet - I will write a review when the KWV3's come in.

 

good choice on the wheels. Your car is just...beautiful!!

 

great looking shots... great camera

 

Funny, I just saw a picture of this car in the dictionary. It was right next to the word perfection.

 

Did the alignment help the "twitchyness" in the corners? Looks great btw!

 

yeah Alpine let me know what happens with alignment correction...hope it's better now if so i'll do the same.
