It's not what you are asking, but reading between the lines it seems that the stance (look) of your car is what you are after. If I were you I would forego messing with the suspension especally since you are happy with the way it rides. I would change your tire/wheel setup to 19's or even 20's. This will fill in the big gaps you have and will make your car look lower. My 2 cents.
Sorry, but that's not correct. Upsizing the wheel means the tire profile is reduced. The over-all diameter of wheel + tire remains constant. In fact, the visual effect of larger diameter wheels seems to increase the gap.

Mika,
I had several conversations with a local indy Porsche tech and he suggested Eibachs, but also indicated H&Rs were fine too. I have used his shop for many years, and my P dealership is very reluctant to do ANYTHING that doesn't have PORSCHE written on it.
I have no creaks or rattles at the present time, but that doesn't mean they won't crop up in the future.
The steering on my car is very quick, and general drivability remains excellent.
As things sit I would do it again;I should have done it sooner.

BTW Jamie in the previous post is absolutely correct.

Mika, call me anything you prefer...Doc is fine!

Ok, I've gotta ask-

Has anyone encountered these?

Rinspeed sport lowering spring set (for vehicles with and w/o PASM, lowering app. 20-25mm)


20-25mm lowering! Could this be the ticket??

So does anyone have these on their car? I'd like to find out how they compare in ride/handling vs. H&R's/Eibachs. Are they manufactured by Rinspeed, or by someone else? Any info? Throw me a bone please!
