Well, I dropped her... I love it

[Eric Mckenna]

She looks mean in person!!!
I may raise the rear just a tad, as I want it to sit slight nose down with full tank..
she is sitting at 23" rear.. and 23.5" front. no rubbing at all..

looks very mean Eric--how'd you do it? how is the ride now with it so low? did handling improve?

[Eric Mckenna]

i DID IT ALL WITH THE CENTRIC BOLTS.. AFTER I HAD REMOVED ALL THE WEIGHT OVER THE WINTER SHE ROSE UP UFF THE GROUND.. AND I HATED IT AND SHE HANDLED LIKE CRAP! SO I WAS SICK OF IT AND DROPPED HER BACK DOWN.. i HAVE ALL THE STUFF ALREDY LIKE TORSION BARS ( WELL LARGER, BUT I WANT TO GET 30'S IN THE REAR HAHA AND IT HAS BILSTEIN SPORTS. ( GREEN)
OH YEAH SHE ROCKS ONCE AGAIN.. CORNERS VERY NICE.
I HAVE TO BUILD A SMALL RAMP NOW TO GET IT IN THE SHED I PARK HER IN THOUGH. HAHAH BUT IT'S WORTH THE TROUBLE TO ME..

Wow! That looks sleek bruddah! Have you had it realigned yet? I need to find a local to align and cornerbalance mine.

[thrown_hammer]

In da weeds! You know if you would ditch that heavy rear bumper and put on the one you got from me it would raise the rear end a bit...

[Adam]

Damn, Eric! That thing is super-low! Looks awesome.

I thought I had a pretty low 911, as my '76 is 24.5" (rear) and 25" (front) and I really have to watch for bumps. Be careful out there!

[Eric Mckenna]

NOT YET,
I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A 9 HOUR DRIVE TO MACON , GEORGIA TOMORROW. I HOPE TO BURN THE CRAP OUT THE (ROCK'S) I CALL MY TIRES SO I CAN BUT SOME NEW ONES! HAHAHA
NO SHE SEEMS TO BE GOOD, IT'S BACK DOWN TO WHERE SHE WAS BEFORE I REMOVED ALL THE WEIGHT. SO IF ANYTHING SHE IS BACK TO A CORRECT SETTING NOW. HAHAHAHA BUT YEAH IN TIME I WILL NEED TO DO ALL THE STUFF YOU MENTIONED..

SHE LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
THAT DIGI CAM SUCK'S..

Watch out for the "MAN" on your way down! Maybe that low stance will put you under radar

You might want to bring that ramp along with you, you'll need it for any curbs or uneveness in the roads more then 5 inches I'm close the height your at and, yes, it does look great, but at a sacrifice. I am constantly scouring the road ahead looking for any ruts. I don't like to take strange roads that I don't know the exact topography down to every pothole. I can't take my daughter to gymnastics because there stinking parking lot is so uneven, I swear my car is going to get high centered. Things like this can mess with your head. (It's still worth it!)

WHAT ARE YA SITTING AT...ARE YA LOWER OR HIGHER THAN I AM ?

SHAWN, I NEED A FRONT TO GO WITH IT BEFORE I PUT HER ON.. THATS ALL I AM WAITIN ON RIGHT NOW.

DAVE,
YA KNOW I AM GONNA BE WATCHIN FOR "JONNIE LAW"HE DOESN'T LIKE ME AND I DON'T LIKE HIM.. SO MAYBE WE'LL JUST LEAVE ONE ANOTHER ALONE! HAHAH BUT I WILL BE GOING SLOW AS TO ENJOY THE OPEN ROAD IN THE 911..




THANKS GUYS,

[89911]

The last time I measured, 23.5 front and 24 rear. This picture is with 17" 8" and 9"s.

[Elombard]

Eric, what time are you coming through Atlanta, lets get together for lunch or something!!

Be really careful going through Forsythe GA. Its about 30 miles before you get to Macon on I75 and a very notorious speed trap. For about 3 miles the speed limit drops for no reason. Its quite a famous revenue generating area.

[Jeff]

Eric, Looks great! I keep toying with the idea of putting mine that low, but i barely make it down the driveway as it is. When I lived in Ohio the pot holes in the spring were bad ... any problems with the dreaded pothole to the smile collision?

From the 2nd picture it looks like you have a front down posture and your measurements would lead me to believe it sits right. BA says the optimal set up is with the front .5" higher than the rear.

[thrown_hammer]

My car is sitting at 24.5" front and 23.75" rear. I think I will drop the front down about another .25" because its easier than raising the rear. No scraping or rubbing.

[Slant930]

Hi Eric, looks toot sweet that low. How did you address the bump steer or do you not have any? I'm in the process of lowering my 930 and seeing how others address this and yours is one of the lowest cars I've seen. Typically I see 25.5/25 front/rear respectively, I'm hopefully shooting for 25/24.5, but we'll see.

Looks great though!

[Jeff]

Eric,

What happened to your all black wheels? That really set your car off. With it that low those black wheels would look very sweet.

[k9handler]

ok Eric....How? In english Bro, so I can get mine down low. Centric bolts? You lost me on that one...the front is simple, it's the rear that has me confused.

[Rob McKibbon]

Eric, Welcome back! Your car looks great, I think it's perfect the way it is (height wise)? Mine's low too and I've only scraped the front spoiler once. I always hit the bumps/ curbs one wheel at a time, on an angle, it really helps the bottoming out.... if ya haven't tried it, try it, it works.

Happy driving. I get to log 4 hours today, 6 tomorrow and 6 on Friday.

[Groesbeck Hurricane]

Eric,

Very, very nice car! Love it!
