Any of you done this on the 958 w/o air suspension yet? Even better, anyone done it by themselves?

Im considering throwing these on my car for a lowered look and if I do, Im planning on doing it myself. Wondering if there's any sort of instructions/DIY for this. Thanks!

 

I lowered my CS with the H&R kit. I had my dealership do the job, it was around $1000 for the spring swap and alignment. I had called shops that Tirerack recommended and other indys and got quotes from $800 to $1500, although I am pretty good with a wrench, I don't have a lift and this was more than I wanted to tackle.

I have PASM and they needed a special tool from Porsche to remove the PASM shocks without damaging them.

Overall I'm really pleased with the ride and look of the car!

 

I love working on cars, and since mine doesnt have PASM, I guess Ill give it a try myself.

Would you mind posting a before and after picture with the springs installed? Is it a noticeable drop? What size wheels do you have?

Thanks again!

 

The spring kit says it lowers 1.2", I think it is closer to 1.75-2". I have the 20" Spyder wheels.

 

Oh wow thats definitely noticeable! Very nice. Now the trouble is me getting under there and figuring out which nuts and bolts to undo! Haha

Thanks for the pics!

 

Also, as an added question, do you think these springs will have an impact on the life expectancy of the OEM shocks?

 

I was told that it probably wouldn't effect the lifespan of the PASM shocks by the service advisor, he thought it would have minimal impact. I imagine it would have even less impact on the normal suspension.

 

PM sent to you sir!
