It is all relative I guess. I too am having Pss9s installed next week. My cost is less than 1000 to install and align. I too am considering buying H&R swaybars today and I will need spacers for my stock wheels

total cost around 3300

Car will be much better handling, lower stance and all around 100% than stock

good question - I am going to rely on my Porsche Tuner to do this, as this project has added more confusion for me than most projects I start...

Things one will need to consider if going to add Coilovers....from a 996 newby

What to do with
PSS9 settings height, rebound/compression F /R
Camber once it is lowered and how much to get the most tire life for street driving....this one is tricky
to add or not...Sway bars...geez this was fun...Droplinks vs no drop links, adj vs non adj, H&R is easy...others wear out other parts...track vs street set ups....
And finally to spacer or not to spacer... are my spacers too thick or too thin...for a stock wheel offset...seems I need 3 diff sizes to get this right the first time...


I need a course in Porsche suspension dynamics obviously...but it will be awesome when finished.....
thanks to all here for the help and to the folks that started the PSS9 group buy.....that was a great buy!
And if you are cheap don't buy a porsche.......

i got my car back today from my mech and it was way to low!! im talking about slammeeddddd. didnt like it so i picked it up 1 inch. i think im going to lower it again a half an inch. we will see. i set the front at 6 and the back 3. i really didnt drive it thatmuch because i need an aliment. price wise he charged me for 9 hours it really sould have been 6 hours. $760 and another $350 for the aliment at the dealer!

i'm doing the spacers also. not sure about the adjustments. car was already lowerd with shocks and springs (was'nt happy with the ride, hadling) so i have a good idea about the height settings. are they easy to adjust once there installed?

I bought my car a few months ago. I had the wheels off over the weekend and saw the adjusting dial on the fronts clearly. The backs I did not see. How do you adjust in the rears?

Never mind, I found the answer. Search is a wonderful tool
