86 drop kit

What parts do I need to lower my 86' 911 about an inch or so? Who sells these parts?

Thanks

You don't need any parts. You will have to reindex the rear torsion bars to lower rear ride height. For the front there are to threaded pins that you will back out which lowers the front. You may want to consider a bump steer kit which raises the steering box so the tie rods are at not too steep of an angle after lowering.

Once you are finished you will need to get an alignment done. I would suggest picking up a manual to help with this.

I would recommend
