  1. That included the price of the springs?

     

     

    No. springs are about 1700 for the set. Two pairs of spacers

    run $900

     

    I checked and I paid 1200 for install and alignment.

    It was the first time this particular dealer installing these

    so I'm sure I paid a bit more for the learning curve.

     

    For a grand total of $3800.00

  2. How much have you guys spent to lower your car?

     

    It looks like I have to use the Novitec lowering kit and I found the parts at a great price but now I need to figure out what's the labor cost. I was reading another thread on here where it seemed like people were cutting their springs but that seems really crazy to me.

     

    I have had 3 quotes that are all over the place. One is ridiculously low and I don't trust that they have ever done them before because the other 2 quotes are much higher.

     

    What labor price should I expect to be around?

     

    Including full wheel alignment I paid around 1500 all in.

    Make sure you get their wheel spacers and find some

    Skid plates while you are at it.

     

    Check some of the pictures I posted in Kevin's blue lemans post.

  3. I cannot remember what model Porsche that is in the background. Does ayone know?

     

    I have lucid memories of that model P-car growing up.

     

    In elementary school, my computer teacher used to drive one.

     

    We used use Apple computers in class and he HATED them.

     

    One day, he unplugged one that was experencing issues. He took it outside the computer lab, next to where his Porsche was parked, called the computer "a piece of crap" and threw it across the parking lot :D .

     

    Can't do that now-a-days.

     

    Anyway....

     

     

    Porsche 914/6

     

  4. Does the front lift stop working when installed? How is ride quality v stock?

     

    Lift works perfectly, zero issues!

    Can't compare ride to stock as I never drove it

    Before lowering.

    I can say that given the ride height and

    nature of the car, I found it completely fine and well mannered.

    I'd do it all over again if I were to get another H without hesitation.

  5. looks great! what springs and spacers did you use & what is the name of that wheel?

    nice work!

     

     

    Novitec makes the springs and spacers.

    Springs are manufacturered by KW.

    It's their H.A.S. (Height adjustable springs)

    The height on both front and rear is adjustable at the

    time of installation. Ride quality is excellent.

    Spacers are 14mm and come with longer bolts.

     

    I have the same setup on my boxster spyder also.

     

    Wheels are Gianno's which is the standard wheel.

  6. car looks great! do you have any other angles/pics?

     

    yes certain angles of the H do look good especially when lowered and spaced.

     

    The last you can compared to my buddy's stock ride height mantis car.

     

    Second image is the one view that killed it (not in a good way) for me.

  7. Trying to decide if I should change the wheels? Any ideas? I color matched the calipers and lowered it to this point. Its in line for a stage 3 build.

     

    Car looks soooo much better as a spyder than a coupe...which is rarely the case.

     

    Novitec wheel spacers are a must with the factory wheels if you decide to keep them.

     

    My old car picture attached with their springs and spacers.

  8. Why do you care, the back will only be seen by the competition :icon_mrgreen:

     

    Good point but every time I walk into the garage it's ugly ass is staring at me :crybaby2:

     

    It pained me so much when I looked at mine that I already sold it, I was hoping for a nice redesign!

    When I shared this opinion of the rear of the current car with my dealer, he said that was the setiment of quite a few people.

     

    I won't be Lamboless for very long :eusa_dance:
