Hello everyone, just purchased 1999 C4 and need a few suggestions/help on the suspension, Coil overs or Springs? i would like to lower the stance some not sure if ill leave the wheels stock, also what is the good and bad about a 996 c4 that i should know?

ps! my first Porsche

 

Huge congrats! Let us know if we can help you out with any performance parts or a set of HRE or ADV.1 Wheels.

 

Welcome, congrats! I put H&R Sport springs on mine and like it. Coilovers are a good choice as well, it depends on how much you want to spend.

 

I'm a big fan of coilovers on the 996, I've run K-Sport (solid top mount) and H&R (rubber and solid top mounts). Completely transforms the handling characteristics without sacrificing comfort.

 

Thank you guys! what are the downfalls for lowering a C4? is it best to keep it a inch all the way around?
any pics out there of what i could expect?

 

I love Speed Yellow. Is that a manual? Every yellow I found during my search was a Tip.

The big difference with the C4 is that there are less options for suspension upgrades. Comparing the options between C2 and C4 on Tirerack helps illustrate this.

 

Thank you! Yes she a manual, sounds like springs are the less inexpensive way to go, what about wings for 996?

 

Congrats and welcome to where the cool cats hang out. Love your new addition, don't see many in this colour in my neck of the woods.

 

Congratulations and welcome! We love speed yellow and keep one around. Cheers!

 

Thnx guys! i have a thing for yellow! and anything with a engine apparently! sorry in advance for posting a F ride on here

 

she looks a beaut buddy ;-)


and so does the fezza if that's yours too

 

Thank you! they were, sad day to let em go! :-(.. but i have a new toy now game on! zoom zoom lol

 

The H&R Springs lowers the car about 1 inch all around, if you want I'll post some pics of mine.

 

Congratulations on your purchase.
I purchased mine about a year and a half ago, and love it.
Just received my Techart springs and sway bars, not installed yet.
As far as body parts, wings etc. Don't go cheap. If you read posts on here you will understand.
Gaps and openings not correct.
There are some good prices on Porsche 996 body parts right now.
Speed yellow looks great!

 

Congrats! I'm partial to speed yellow too ^^^^ and sharing driveway pics as well.


Any more pics?
