I'm always on that Pelican board, but find the clientele way different from users of Saabnet. Certain people, many times the same individuals, really toss you an attitude. But, as you say, it's a great resource and you'll receive some really good, knowledgeable information if you post a problem. Incidentally, concerning the Euro-ride-height with the 16 inch Fuchs....my motorcycle buddy is a factory Porsche tech for 21 years and as you can imagine, an invaluable resource when it comes to keeping my car as mechanically perfect as can be.....he is not a big fan of lowering the car to the extent that some people do. He says that there is a compromise that can be achieved between American and Euro-speced cars. If you upgrade from the stock Boges (as I have with Koni's) and lower the car, you're not getting full utilization of the shocks and while you may achieve a certain look, the car may not really do what it's capable of doing. We did my suspension this summer and he wasn't happy when we got it done so he raised it half an inch. Then he drove it and said, "Oh yeah, now we got it." Pays to have anal retentive friends I guess when you're dealing with 911's.
