It looks incredible. I am always impressed by people who have such great skills - I can barely make soup much less links for a car that I will drive at high speeds

congrats!

I love the attitude the car now projects. You have skills most of us will never achieve. I think the only thing missing is the sport design package in carbon fiber.

It's lowered 15mm and I added 10mm spacers with new extended bolts.
My new Normal is the old Deep +5mm.
The Taycan isn't really that low, lol.

15 mm lower is quite a lot? How are you managing speed bumps with this. Do you have to raise the car for these then? Or maybe you do not have so bad speed bumps in Netherlands.

I have problems with a lot of them in the south of France. They are quite aggressive bumps and my car has hit them a lot. If any speed above 25 km/h it grounds in Normal setting. Hard suspension or raised suspension is the only way for me?
Any views?

Wow, very cool, and top work on making them yourself! Are the links easy to access to get off?

 

[Nickj]

Thanks. When you say new normal is deep plus 5mm do you mean the new standard ride height is now 5mm higher than the lowest setting before?

Is the first pic the new normal and therefore you can lower more if you select the lowest setting? ( not that I’m suggesting you want to as sits perfect)

PS Did you guys notice that the ride height you select in Normal will be the same as in Sport?
Only Sport Plus has it's own: deep.
So annoying.
I want:
Normal: normal.
Sport: low.
Sport Plus: deep.

Individual is of course the one you select individually.

I think it looks great, perfect, I hope to lower mine also, great job!

Is your height on Sport Plus really called "Deep"? On my car, it only is referred to as "Lowest."

 

[KensingtonPark]

No, in Dutch it's called "diep" so I translate that to "deep".

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong profile for location. Thanks!

Looks great! Did you PPF your doors to protect against rock chips?

 

[Scandinavian]

Thx.
The Taycan already has PPF from the factory.

Is that available as an option in Netherlands?
I have not seen such a option?

Glad to see you getting more love on this forum compared to the FaceBook Groups

Just wondering if it's possible to show a car shop your process and if they can modify their cars for whoever wants to replicate your work?

 

[993_4S]

It's standard on all cars.
It's just a triangle-shaped piece of film on the rear door (not the whole door).
Just like all 911 have.

I am referring to the whole door. I lowered my 2020 M5 Competition and added spacers. I also got dozens of rock chips on all four doors. I was considering adding spacers to the Taycan, but will have my doors wrapped first.

Hi, can you post some before/after pictures side by side? Love to see how it 'changed'.

 

[SwissTaycan]

Cool. Has a totally different presence somehow. Looks more agile and poised for speed.
