C2 springs....which?

Eibach, H&R, suggestions? I'm mainly just looking for improved ride height, ride quality is still important. Leaning towards Eibach, as most of the H&R that I've done in that last little while seem to have exceedingly high spring rates....appreciate your input, thanks.

consider..Bilstein Sports with Eibach springs.

you can also refer to adrian streather's book "enthusiast's companion" for 1989-1994".

this will provide information on the 964 ride height / set-up which was lower than N.Amer..... (ck RS set up).

I have tried numerous setups. I found for a soft street ride the Bilstein HD's with Eibach springs worked best. The H&R greens were similar around town but when pushed harder not as stable as the eibachs. The eibachs also showed more of a change depending on ride height than the greens. For more spirited driving the reds are much better. I have them on my turbo and they are as soft as i would go. greens & eibachs are too soft for a car with that much power.

I personally am not a fan of Eibach...just personal taste. I like the Bilstein/H&R combo. I recently got some Gemballa springs (which are made by H&R) with a new set of Bilstein HD's.

The Eibachs have a much softer ride and if you're planning on driving on the street most of the time - that would be my recommendation.

Are you going to be switching out the dampers as well?

just get a set of adjustable perches. that's what i did along with a balance and alignment and the car handled great with no degradation in ride. and the new stance was awesome.
