My white 997S is back from the shop (new front & rear)

Hey guys. I took some pics of my car with the GT3 front bumper and GT2 modified wing (by Misha). Sorry I'm such a bad photographer, I'll take better ones this week. In this pic you can see the 20% tints were added as well. I'm swapping out this emblem with a black 911 this week.

I really need to drop the vehicle about 1.25-1.5", any suggestions? Some ppl say go with just springs (I have PASM), others recommend the full coilover setup. TIA for your input. Oh, and I need a new avatar as well!

BTW, if anyone needs a high end body shop in Atlanta, I highly recommend Mike McConville over at Magnum Collision in Marietta, GA. They work with the local Ferrari, AM, Maserati, and Lambo dealerships here and have a very good reputation. The service is top notch and prices are surprisingly reasonable.

Yes! The front and rear look awesome.

Put the old rims on! Looks great otherwise, wish i could have survived with a front end that low - i scraped even when cautious stock!

Looks great! Take some shots with the old wheels before you get rid of them.

Tough crowd, everyone wants the old wheels back on! I'm keeping them for now in case I change my mind. If they weren't black I probably wouldn't have changed them. I have to admit I've been shopping for some 997GT3 wheels but what a waste of money for me to have bought both. Oh well. I know you guys are HRE or OEM or bust, hopefully it'll look better when I lose the gap in the wheel wells.

That's it!!! I'm taking them off and leaving the car on cinder blocks. Suggestions for a new set of wheels? And don't say the old ones!

Honestly though, while I am not the biggest fan of those, they aren't terrible and I actually prefer them over blacked out lobster forks. That said, I think you should get a set of HREs or OEM '3s.
