Just got it back yesterday. Want to ask after i changed the techart spring whenever i making the turns (specailly on the bumpy surface) i heard slightly crocking noise from the front suspension. Is that normal after changing the spring? i just curious.

I'm no mechanic but that is most likely a problem. I would not drive it much and take it right back to whoever installed the springs. I have some questions:

Looks low, how much lower is it ?
How much less drivable is it? i.e., ramps, curbs, etc.
Is it noticeable stiffer?
Do you have PASM?
Thanks for your reply.

Re: my 997S update pic

Due to the stiffness , it could be that on a bumpy UNEVEN surface one of the wheels is slightly airborne for a very brief moment then on returning you get that noise..

Roads cant be good over there , eg - check the pic posters..

Thanks for the pic, beautiful car!

Where in HK was the photo taken? I am also considering the 997S, which salesman did you deal with?

Cheers.......

Re: my 997S update pic

yeah....gonna bring in to the workshop tmr and let them re-check once again. i thought about the spring stiffness causes the shocks loading. Anyhow......just ya know all ....it's new so just wanna get perfection.

i do have PASM and it lower about 1 inches.

Erdoc- the pic shoot in shatin. you can ask for Louis in CWB porshce center

Nice!

That is one mean 997. I agree with Tooner on the effect of the PCCB's on the all black look...awesome!

Re: my 997S update pic

I'm curious, what is the import tax these days for a 997s in HK? How much did your car cost?
