Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Hello member,
I have been a forum member for awhile here. I currently own a E46 M3 track car and got he opportunity to purchase a 2003 Porsche C4S with 35k miles on it. Couldn't pass it up. Plans for the C4S are:
Coilovers (Already installed)
Spacers (Already installed)
Roll bar (Already purchased)
Muffler bypass
Bucket seats
SSK
Wheels
Anyways, glad to be part of the community here, has been very helpful thus far.
Here are some iPhone pictures.
and some of the track car for good measure.
when not on track duty:
Nice pickup. The rear looks really low. Does it sit on lowering springs already? Ive dialed in 25mm of rake front to rear with an aggressive track alignment. Really pleased with current setup. Let me know if you want more details. Good luck with the 4s. Great car...
Congrats and welcome to the Porsche world and our exclusive club of "911 Ownership" Before I bought my C4S, I owned 8 Bimmers including my last one which was an E46 M3. I now own a 911 and a 986 Boxster S. I'll never go back to owning a Bimmer
A year younger than my C4S, that looks identical to what you got there.
Do I think it looks great? Oh hell yeah.
Congratulations on getting the best looking 996 out there...
Thanks! I noticed that your info says that you're in Switzerland. I have been living in Zurich for almost 3 years. Making my way back to the states in the coming months. Such a beautiful country.
Congrats . I have an Silver 2003 with 74k miles, in great condition, and other than fabspeed headers, cats, muffler, and intake, it is factory stock with all the S options, manual of course. Ive done just a few Porche DE events to experience the real performance of this car.
These cars are beasts even with the all wheel drive weight. I just did the IMS fix , clutch, and RMS, but mine was always dry with no metal filings in oil filter but I couldn't take the negativity of the engine complaints anymore.
Enjoy your C4S!
Very nice - I am one year on with my C4S and love it. This forum has been a lot of help to me as well.
When I bought mine it had lowering springs and had a similar stance as yours - rear drooped some. I went the opposite direction siince didn't like the ride quality as a daily driver so put on a set of low mileage used OEM TT springs and struts and now the car looks right and rides so much better on roads that are not smooth.
