if she can't squad, could be really something wrong, check for boost leak.

 

no prob. i'm glad i was being "clear"...here's more ya didn't ask for, but maybe it'll help someone.

the below is near perfect compromise as can be on a street car on 18's.

gt2 sized wheels.. or.. oem twists with 7X15 spacers.
lower w H&R "sports"
torque solution or rss toe links
gt3 rear sway bar

again, a perfect *compromise* for driving on the street on the way to some serious canyon carving.

 

^ very good advice Mark.

thx dave! to borrow a recent quote from 32 in here, most/all? of anything i have learned i have learned in here from folks like you ( and him ) or had to learn the hard way

 

Changing suspension on monday. Too much to do overweekend.

 

Fairly super easy. Well. Suprise suprise. Need mount bearings. 2 bump stops. One stablizer busted. Never ends. Anything i touch on this car needs to be replaced. Lol. And upper mouts look a bit cracked. But im going coilovers next year and i dont drive much.

 

Thats negative doctor, other side looks a lot worse so replacing both, ordered all ready, You think this sleeve looks fine to you!!!!!! HA?



I'm glad i Even went for lowering springs, replacing all this broken A$$ parts.

2 bumpers (check)
1 stabilizer link (check)
2 front mounts (check)
2 upper bearings

 

I told you, man. Super easy to install suspension on these. Glad it is all working out for you!

 

thanks ! front looks confused at first, but ones you start getting everything off its not that bad, i did not used spring compressor to remove the fronts, just slided the spring down lol. some tricks and done. and I did not touched the nut. I just took the bolts out by the shaft

spring compressor i just rented from advanced auto, cant wait to see new look and nice drop.

 

done. Sneak pic, also what i did I used plasti dip to spray my side skits, since they were just gray from sun. more pics coming soon ones i wash the beast. car looks so damn good, i love oem wheels with 10mm spacers. techart exhaust with black crest center caps.

the car drives so damn nice. its not pulling after the drop or anything.

Looks good. Should settle in nicely after a spirited ride.

 

Well done, I am very impressed. Your cars looks very nice at the new height.
How long did this take you to do front and rear? You say "it wasn't too difficult of a job & Fairly super easy. Well. Surprise surprise"....yes I am surprised, very surprised indeed.

My car was booked in at a suspension shop yesterday to have PSS10's installed and they told me they couldn't do it as they have never done a 996T before. Can you believe this coming from a place that supposedly does this day in day out......

I have now booked it in to a Porsche indy shop to get bent over on price.
After reading your post on how easy it was has got me thinking maybe I can tackle this as well but I may need the right tools.

 

that is crazy about the shop. Rear about 20 30min per side. Front ones hour 1/2 to 2 hours. Now i can do it faster. And yes had to replace few parts down the road. I got pretty good hookup on oem parts. Local. I was suprised. Parts came in same day. 2 mounts. 2 bumper stops. Stablilizer link was busted. 2 bearings. 2 axle nuts. I did soak everything the night before using pb blaster.

 

Very good, so you needed 2 axle nuts as well. Thank you.

 

Yes. You can not reuse the old ones. I paid 10 bux each.
