1 inch is slamming a Porshe, Just like 1 inch is actually slamming a Z.

my Z was lowered 1 in and it was bouncing all over the place after about a year of running it like that. And as far as it looking better or worse, everyone has their opinion. Personally I like the look of these wheels better than the stock ones. They are 1000000 times easier to clean so thats a plus. Plus the owner of the Porsche dealer here locally said he really loves how they look on the car compared to the stock ones. Always nice to get a compliment from the boss. These are head turners when its nice and sunny outside, the machined finish on the face really makes the difference to me. Plus now it doesn't look like every other Cayman rolling down the street. Mod bug or not, I always like having something to personalize the car so that it doesn't look like all the other ones on the street. Around here I don't think there is another Cayman in town with aftermarket wheels on it. Again might lower it might not. Probably going the exhaust route next though. This car is great in the upper revs but needs just a little more power.

Thinking your Cayman looks perfect. I wouldn't screw around with the Porsche suspension. The handling is probably perfect stock from the factory and I would leave it alone.

your Cayman is coming along nicely. looking forward to seeing it lowered and with an aftermarket exhaust.

Man, tough crowd. I think the wheels look great and suit the car perfectly, good job dude. Yes it needs a drop but I totally understand why you wouldn't want to deal with nuisances of a dropped car.

Probably one of the best sounding Porshe with an exhaust, they just have a really unique sounds at upper RPM. BTW have you pulled the inlet restricter from the wheel well yet. it gives a nice little boost in power.
