How does she look??

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here that helped me through the lowering process (wow not to go Dr. Phil on anyone!). Seriously though I think the lowering job made a HUGE difference on my car.
Thanks Again!
Neil

Much nicer. I like the all-black wheels, as well. The car looks much meaner now.
Nice job.

Looks much better. The black wheels make it look mean.

I like mine, too.

My wheels are the factory 16" 993 wheels form 1995. 7 inch front, 9 inch rear with 205/245 Fuzion ZRi tires. Just a little different than the next 911SC. Now I want Fuchs bakc again.
Go figure.
The brown car just above looks bada$$, BTW. Very purposeful look to it.

EDIT: Sorry that isn't brown, is it?

I've had good results with the Fuzions. I don't really care for the rim-protector thingy, though. For the price, they are an excellent tire. I may try the Kumhos next time.

Mine are measured from the floor to the bottm edge of the fender lips.
24 inch rear, 24.5 front. I have found that my SC seems to be more stable and predictable with a slight rake to it. I belive mine is around 1.5 degrees, measured on the door sill. It may not be 'correct" but it works.

Well after about 4 tries with the torsion bars (I can now do it with no hands and blind-folded) mine is 23.5 rear and 23 in front. I absolutely love it and was well worth the time!!!!!
