Views on Spring Assisters on lowered 996 Turbo S

[etlprws]

Hi All,

I have a 996 Turbo S which has been lowered by a previous owner. It does not appear to be adjustable suspension.

I live in a road with quite severe speed bumps and regularly grind various bits of the car on these (mostly front splitter).

I have just discovered Spring Assisters.

They seem to be aimed at raising cars to counter heavy loads or for towing. I was wondering whether they would be suitable and, more importantly safe, to use to raise my car up a little.

Clearly I don't want to mess up the handling.

Any advice or experience?

Thanks
Peter

I think the use of the word assister is a bit miss-leading they are just a rubber insert which stops a loop of the coil compressing. I would imagine the handling would be poor at best. What happens when it can't compress any more it would be like riding on the bump stops. Your best bet would be a standard or custom spring which would raise the car a little. Mine at standard height still catches the work drive and some speed bumps unless I crawl over them.
