I think it looked okay at the original higher setting.


Didn't do it for looks. Cars alignment was altered from Oem spec. So rake, toe, camber...everything was off.

I daily drive a Mazda 2. Believe it or not I really don't care for a nice daily. Happy with something that has a low running cost. And after driving the GT3 I am forever ruined, this car has set the bar really high now lol.

Not the same level of course, but lightly modded E92 M3 when I want it, 2006 4Runner with 250000kms on it and a torn drivers seat for a daily. It's just easier day by day and I appreciate the M3 so much more. I totally get it.

I love the V8, but this makes me want to drive a 997 to see what I think.

Yup that's exactly how I feel. One of my favourite cars was the old 1998 civic si I had. It was a true beater and was a great feeling. It to have to worry about door dings and what not. A regular 997 drives nice but does not feel like the gt3 at all. Performance wise I would say a 997 carrera or S is similar to a e92 in terms of performance, it does of course have better dynamics, but doesn't feel balanced at all. Feels ass heavy all the time and then there's the engine... the s65 sounds amazing and has a smoother power build up compared to the flat 6. My dads S comes alive after 4K or 4500rpms and it feels like vtec. The GT3 is even more pronounced once it hits 4K.

Take a 997 for a spin, but don't ever drive a GT3 unless you want it lol. I will never like driving my dads 997s again now.

Thanks guys. I love it too lol

Lafora, I exited at the back ricer styles at a 45 degree angle and at crawling speeds and still scraped the lip lol.


Maybe that's why the previous owner had it jacked up.

Got a before and after side by side comparison? How much did it actually drop?

Let me know when you go lapping in it. Want a ride on the track.


basically trying to save a polyeu lip and sacrificing alignment doesn't make sense. I can see ride height ALONE, sure; but if the prev guy performed a DIY and measured off the fenders to an unlevel ground, then that's probably what ended up with all three being out of whack.

That's an offer if I ever heard one.

GT3's are going up it seems. I'm conflicted and don't want to buy a drivers car at the high side of the market. Need more parking, and more funds.

i get where you're coming from, dailying a car that you don't have to swerve away from pot holes etc, but after a 12hr shift, its sick to have something nice that basically drives you home and you just sink into the seat and listen to music.

then again a mazda 2 daily and a GT3 in the garage trumps that lol

That's all I got for side by side. You can see it was much higher before, according to the paper work it was dropped between 28mm to 32mm lol. Was not even before.


Just focusing on the fender gap - huge difference. How's the handling now that it's fixed?

I gotta get everything lined up beforehand. CBU, SCR gut, etc. Fucking delete isn't cheap either, you're looking at 2k for the DP + tune. A guy over on E90post just had a set of hybrids installed, he made 480whp/6XXftlbs

Even tunes with everything in place are making around 320whp, crazy.

it's so funny. Pretty much every modern diesel needs all the emissions crap removed to run reliably and make power.

I've been looking at 2010-2011 Gls and MLs and pretty much the exhaust fluid components will fail, the swirl vales will fail.
Solution? Delete everything!

I've also been looking at X5d s and it seems the EGRs crack.

On my Jeep I did the DPF delete so I can run proper oil not the low ash stuff, and a retune to disable the EGR and swirl valves so the motor lives! And added a catch can to keep the oil out of the intake.

but the VWG still cheated the emission on the diesel engines. My buddy is getting paid large on his 2012 Jetta TDI buyback. He is a happy camper when he receives his $18,000 cheque in July or August
