You did drive that for a few miles before you took the pix right?

If so, it looks good.

BTW, your phone dials look awesome.

looks correct.

Do you have those little engine shocks on the inside of the front suspension?

I wish they made a true phone dial in 18" for wide rubber.

Thanks! I have always loved the Phone Dials since the early 80's. Actually I will post a pic of what I did to the front springs as soon as I get home. I drove the 928 to work this morning and it seemed to ride better than before. Also, pulled a 3"x3" chunk of plastic that broke off the upper cylinder of the shock and was rattling around inside the coil.

I am finally happy with the ride height and evenness.

Yeah, I will get the same as rjm65's. I just don't have the funds for the spacers right now. On my Short List.

Yup, I got 2 little motor shocks on mine.

Nah, his rears are pretty good.

Be really careful with spacers, they accelerate the wear on your rear bearings. that's a pricey job in a 928.

I believe Wheel Dynamics is making a set of wide phone dials for somebody right now, but forget where I heard about it.

I'm not sure they would look right in 18", have to seem them to know I guess.

Yes, this makes perfect sense as I remember buying a set of spacers for my TR7 in the 80's and it did just that (wheel bearing wore out fast).

Happened to my 928 as well. Put on big hubcentrics to fully fill out the wheel well and within 6 months my rear bearings were shot.

Will these fit older years?

Are they ride height adjustable?
