Nothing special, crappo background, but after almost a year, I still can't take my eyes off the damn thing.

Nice color. Non-S? Your car would look a little better with a bit of a drop IMO.

Yes and Yes. It's a C4, and I'm thinking about a drop with spacers.

LOL, I'm in my garage everynight looking at her fat sexy ***.

re: my comment about drop and spacers - If I give my car a slight drop, I'd like to bring the wheels out just a bit too. Unless of course this will cause problems...??

I have an 08 C4S with stock 19" Carrera Classic wheels shod with 235 and 305 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I installed Porsche's OEM 5mm spacers and bolts in front and H&R 7mm spacers and bolts in the rear. It appears H&R manufactures the bolts for Porsche because they look identical. This spacer combination places both front and rear tires just shy of being flush with the edge of the fender. My car is still stock height, however you will not have any issues with a mild drop.

Good Luck!

Ahhhh. Excellent information. We have the same exact wheel and tire combo, so your picture gives me an accurate look. Looks perfect. Thanks for posting.

Car looks great, as is! It will look even better with the drop and spacers.

Are you planning to use springs or coilovers for the drop? (Note: I have used H&R springs for sale, if interested).

Thanks for sharing.

Not sure what I'm doing yet with suspension. How's the ride with just the H&R's?

The ride with H&Rs is similar to stock. I have had them for about 1.5 years and they are great.

Synergy - each time I see your avatar I can't help but say to myself "damn that car looks so good with those 110's and GT3 front"......I'd just put a TA III or Rinspeed rear wing on it. Congrats on a fantastic looking 997.

That car does flow very nicely. I agree!
