Should this car be lowered?

[87930]

What do you think? I'd lie to take it down a bit, but not too low.

[Rekoob]

you will hear equal amount of both side of this. in my opinion (since im in the same boat) a little bit is a nice so it looks nice and natural, but also take into account where you live and where you drive the car. if alot of potholes and speed bumps are on your regular drives, then the height is nice to have. if its all smooth sailing then why not give her a bit more of an aggressive stance.
Driveways, hills and parking lot dips/ramps also become potential for damage.

-beautiful lookin car might i add!

Yes! Take down to "euro" standard. The gaps are just too big in the wheel wells. Love the colour!

[faverymi]

Absolutely.

I like euro height. Much lower gets too risky with driveways, bumps, entrances, garages...

Good looking car.

You guys did note that the car is a RoW car, and is probably already at the true, factory-specified "euro" height? (Which is far taller than people here on Pelican believe.)

[tijnes]

What's the tire size? Height looks ok to me, the tires don't seem tall enough to fit the wheel wells.

[boss11]

most definitely does!!

unless you're planning on Paris-Dakar in the near future

[87930]

Tires are 205/55 and 245/45 16. The distance from the ground to the fender lip is 25.75 in the front and 25.5 in the rear. Fuel level is less than one quarter. I was thinking 25 in. on all four corners. I believe the front measurement should be .25 in higher in the front but I like the slight nose down stance.

[Jcslocum]

Yup. It needs to be lower some.

[dipso]

It needs to come down about 1 1/2".

[porsche930dude]

definatly. lower the front first and see how it looks before doing the back. you may find it unnessesary to lower the back as long as you dont go too low in the front

Inch and a half would put put him damn near on the bump stops. My car with the same wheel and tire combo is three quarters of an inch lower. No way would I go any lower and still want to drive on anything other than perfect roads. -J

Cut the bump stops. Mine is currently about 24 "- 24 1/4" . Cut the bump stops and it rides just like it was higher without cut bump stops.

It definitely needs to come down at least an inch.

Garnet Red!

[weseeeee]

I agree that the euro standard is a good look.

[tobluforu]

Both cars need to be dropped an inch.

[Algernon]

Looks perfect as is - same as mine! And much more comfortable at that height

[82 SC]

Hmmm, I have only had mine a few months so I did not know if mine was stock height or not but after looking at yours I guess mine is lowered. Have a bad front shock and that must be the noise of hitting the bump stop when i go over bumps. Wham! Also my tow loops on the front are almost worn out from scraping. I like the looks of mine but I also like a rally high look.

911 Ride Height Settings:
Usually, the rear is set to factory specs first and then the front is
adjusted so that the front end is 1" lower.
The rear is measured as follows: The center of the rear torsion
bar to the ground is measured. The center of the wheel to the
ground is measured. The difference between these two
measurements is then calculated. For Euro height, the difference
should be 16mm, and for USA height the difference should be
37mm. (to make this measurement a little easier, you can
measure ground to bottom of torsion bar tube and add 1/2 inch),

Mine is at 24 7/8" front and 24 1/2" rear. Front 225/50-16s and Rear 245/45-16s
