Hard to tell from that picture, shot from above. Take a side picture from 3 feet off the ground, or post your wheel well heights. I think it looks pretty darn good. Also I'm not sure in '86 there was any stock ride height variation worldwide.

I could be wrong but I do believe the stock North American 3.2 had a higher ride than the ROW offering. Many, if not most of those cars have been lowered over the years. Lowering a torsion bar car is simple and cheap. The coil sprung cars require much more $$$$ to lower and unless you go to coilovers, you are stuck with the results. When I changed to coilovers in the 993 I set the car below ROW and found the handling very squirelly due to the fact that to correct the handling I would've needed to throw in another $2500 in RS hub carriers. You got to draw the line somewhere and given my driveway.....ROW it was. Cheers

I don't know about "worldwide", but yep, by 1986 there was no difference in height between Euro and American market 911s.

That's what I meant. I don't know why I said worldwide rather than Euro.
Thanks,

Any progress in the last 2 months?
What came of the $25k Targa?
