Captain Ahab, thank you.

Car is a blast to drive.
1915 lbs with fuel, spare tire and passenger seat etc and with approx 300bhp it makes for a fun ride plus sounds great at 8000….

This is an excellent photograph. Nice composition! Background, car positioning, wheels turned, car slightly tilted, etc.

Car looks great too.

Thank you. I think I got lucky with the iPhone, but the location did speak to me.

Maybe it's just me, but did Porsche get it wrong? Almost every car in this thread is seriously lowered, and if you would place them next to a factory-fresh car, the factory car (even an ROW version) would look as if it is on stilts.

I have read on here that the proper ROW specs (translated into U.S. measure) are 25.5 inches for the rear fender, and 27 for the front. My car is at this height, but people tell me it's too high. Granted it looks a bit more aggressive if somewhat lower, but I've had my car adjusted lower and it was hard to align properly when it was "slammed". At the correct ROW height alignment is straightforward.

I know that there are means to do anything if you want, but if a stock suspension needs modification in order to have a certain 'look' I don't quite get what is gained, except for a particular aesthetic. If I am poorly informed about how this works, please offer constructive advice.
