i have a Strosek on my C2 cab. i've had the car a couple years with no quality issues to speak of. the original owner had it installed by the dealer for around $6k complete. i bought the car used, but talked to the dealer who did the install during the inspection. i get a lot of positive comments on the body kit. however, it could stand to be lowered (what car can't use a little lowering?) the nose piece tapers up so it give the impression of riding high in the front.

That's bad man, after 69,000 miles, it should be a very rare event to have an engine go bad like that. Question how many, well that won't work, anyway, I have 65,000 miles on my car, I ask anyway, how many forum members have this kind of problem after driving the car for 60K + miles. This is not a survey just a quick check up.
mine went on my '99 996 c2 at 56k miles. happened 2 weeks after buying the car and spending another $6k on interior stuff for track days. DE event. mechanic told me oil starvation in the carousel. anyway, car has been sitting for 2 years and i'm ready to get it running agin. came across this thread while searching for optins. can anyone attest to whether a 3.6 is an option with mech throttle?

what did you end up doing with this?
-
i started with rockitman's instructions and shattered the windshield from inside by trying to "crush" the rocker covers. granted, i wasn't probably paying attention. but i could have had a shop do the install for what the windshield will cost me.

weydeki,
Your car looks great!! :thumbup: DO you have standard suspension as those 19's look great and was curious as to fitment with standard suspension.

sorry for delay. car is stock other than the body mods and the wheels. it rides very wheel and hasn't given me any rub issues. i would think that it could be lowered without any issues (beyond my wife kicking my *** for spending more money on this car).

front spoiler/splitter with no rear wing = OK
rear wing with no front spoiler/splitter = not OK
The dealer's right.
OK. It looks like the dealer has a point.
Why then is my exact set-up shown on the Strosek website? Is it pure negligence on their part? They claim that my front end "reduces lift on front axle".

I was at a local porsche dealer the other day to grab the latest Nord Stern newsletter and a salesman pulled me aside to tell me that my car is very unsafe with its current configuration. He explained that the rear spoiler with the absense of a front spoiler will cause the front to get very light at speeds over 90mph. For the record, he was pretty nice about the explanation. I doubt he expected me to trade it in for a different car right then and there.
Anyway, I agree in principle that he may be correct. But am I the only one with this type of set-up?
And is he right? I plan to do some driver training at BIR next month, so I'm concerned about the set-up.
I figure i have the following options:
- leave as is and throw some sand in the baggage compt
- pull the rear wing off
- add a different front end with spoiler
- install wheelie bars
- leave as is and throw some sand in the baggage compt

it's Strosek. I didn't buy it. The car came with it. they have a boxser on their site with this same front end.
what kind of a front bumper is that? -
So far, no rubbing issues. I originally would have gone with 18's but they aren't available in that size. Actually, the 19's drive really nice. I would recommend them now.
Very nice, I have a speed yellow cab like yours, thinking about painting my rims instead of buying new ones. The tires have like 80% left on them so I will wait till I get new tires then get rims. Any rubbing issues (fitment adjustments) with these 19s? -

Actually I don't think it looks lame. They match well with the front bumper as Techart style.
But I do agree with Chuck dental floss is the best way, if you decided to take them out.
:welcome:
Thanks for the replies. It looks better in photo than in person. I appreciate the input and advice.

i haven't heard of issues with 19's, just thinking they might be a bit harsher than 18's and looking for some confirmation either way. btw, I meant 996, not 997, unfortunately.

I'm considering 19" wheels for a 997 C2. Can I get some input on how they behave? I have 18's on a boxster s and might not want to go larger on that car. We have some rough roads in MN. Thanks!
