I have carrera Sport 19" alloys on my Porsche 911 Gen 2 with PASM - 235 width on the front and 305 width rubber on the back. Looking to get some spacers for the car and lowering springs... any recommendations? How low? Which springs? where from? what spacers? How thick? lol cheers.

I believe 5mm front and 17mm back is typical for spacers for a flush look on stock wheels.

I would recommend the H&R springs, which maintain OEM ride and make the look like the car it should have been from the factory!

I recently posted a picture of my car in this thread

Hi Honda

Please let me know what drop the H&R springs should be for a 997 Gen 2 with PSM... the arch center is 27" from the floor... how high is the center of your arches from the floor?

Cheers

I'll attempt to get round to that for you, but the ground clearance of a C2S is 110mm, a C4S 108mm, a GT3 93mm. Given the H&Rs are -20/-25mm, you're looking at a lower ride than GT3.

However, the approach angle is better given the fact there is no splitter on the C2/C4.
