Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

30 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

Nice car, i like those rims, and the paint looks flawless.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! The paint is in great shape. It's lowered 1" with 19" Avante Garde Concave wheels. Had brake calipers painted yellow.

POST 5Original post

ive been debating whether or not to try the painted calipers, i think my next step will be new headlights and side marker lights(clear)

POST 6Original post

Very nicely done Akshun for more information on the Side Marker Lights CLICK HERE.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I used Meguire's headlight restoration kit.. Worked great!

POST 9Original post

Car looks great! Wheels modernize it. I did not see the yellow calipers the first time. Several of the Porsches had yellow calipers at Detroit Auto Show this year. I like them.

POST 10Original post

You have a really nice car How did you lower your car

POST 11Original post

Wow, that looks aggressive and awesome. Nice work!!!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Lowered with lowering springs

POST 13Original post

Love the color. "Hi, I'm a Porsche 996." "What can I do for you?" "You can get out of my way."

POST 14Original post

The new wheels look great! What wheels did you replace the AV with?

POST 15Original post

Looks amazing! Stance is perfect! Hey - Could you post your wheel width, ET, and tire sizes?

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 10393753

The wheels are 19" Avante Garde. Fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x10.5. Tires are 275/30 in the rear and 235/35 fronts. Car is lowered about an inch

POST 19Original post

What a transformation! Don't forget to re-torque all of your suspension pieces periodically because of the added stress from the 19 inch wheels. When Porsche designed the 997 they started with 996 suspension parts but discovered that they had to beef them all up (they were trying to do it without changing the parts) because they discovered that the added stress from the larger wheels put significant stress upon the suspension components, leading to failure.

POST 20Original post

those concave wheels look good!! however i do have to tease you for rock'n with yellow calipers with a red car knowing those are the McD's colors...lol

POST 21Original post

Looks awesome! What springs did you go with? I'm toying with the idea of lowering my cab.

POST 24Original post

Tball....did you get the rear camber within specs without new links? Thanks

POST 27Original post

tballas, I absolutely love your car! Do you keep the rear spoiler up most/all the time?

POST 28Original post

Is yellow the more popular color for calipers on these cars? I was thinking on doing red but I keep seeing more and more with yellow or the lime green color.

POST 29Original post

The car looks great, what brand are the 235/35 and the 275/30 ? Did u go with 19x11 et52 rear

POST 30Original post

yes it is awesome, and every feature of it amazing and simply cool. some facts about the car is that it is very good.
