what do you think. i'm thinking an inch and a half lower would be great. wife isn't so thrilled about it, says i'm low enough.

 

LOWER ASAP! looks like a 4x4 if you dont want to spend too much, just get techart springs

 

Nice ride, I vote 'lower'...just had Techarts installed on mine and love the new look- low to decrease the tire: wheel well gap, yet not so low as to scrape the front. The ride to me is the same as stock with respect to comfort.

 

Im in the same boat. What to do what to dooo.. Would hate after 2 years car starts bouncing like a dropped civic

 

I vote to lower.

I am lowering with H&R's next month, just waiting on my wheels to come...

 

I'm with your wife....but I never see the sense in lowering a Porsche. For looks?????.......it already looks cool; it's a 911 for God's sake.

A voice in the wilderness!

I bought my 911 already lowered by the previous owner on H&R springs. I didn't care for it, especially here in the horrible Chicago roads. I never saw the benefit of the car being lowered especially if you're never going to track the car.

 

I actually think your car looks good. I think cars with PASM are low enough, but I'm thinking of lowering mine just a bit. Yes, just for looks. And yes, it's already cool, but I think it's just a smidgen cooler dropped down 1"

Lower it. I'm riding on a set of H&R coil overs and think it's great.

 

Agreed - Chicago also. If you live where roads are bad - absolutely don't lower. If you have good/smooth roads and mild weather it might be OK. I much prefer keeping cars stock.

 

My problem as mentioned by Carrera997re is I think he is correct. It may ride nice for a year but the shorter prongs will cause the stock struts/shocks to fail prematurely and the car will bounce. I went through this on my 993 coupe and finally solved the problem with F&R Bilstein coil overs. So for my 2 cents, if you want to lower it, do it correctly or not at all.

As an aside, I would like to lower my '10 997 C4S about 1" but my wife would: 1. flip out and 2. likely end up smashing the nose while parking.

 

I used Techarts on my PASM equipped GTS. They only dropped the car about 1/2" which is where the SPSAM equipped GTS sits.

 

I vote lower with H&R Sport Springs, designed with a revised spring rate for increased driving convenience with great handling characteristics. OE Sport Springs offer a mild lowering to cleanup that "too high-rally-stock look." Stock ride comfort is retained.

Front lowering: 1.2 in
Rear lowering: 1.2 in

 

There's another question...people say springs will make the suspension wear out faster, has anyone actually experienced ths or is it just theoretical?

 

First off all I will ask where do you live?, do you have speed bumps, do you go to the super market with does stop blocks on it??

I think your car looks amazing and I would do a thing
