996 Suspension Options

[LeeME3]

Looks like the suspension on the C4 could do with being changed.... thought it was fine until I drove another with new shocks/springs and then realised mine would benefit from new ones, there's still life in my shocks/springs but may as well have it as sharp as poss I figure.

Would like to get the car A LITTLE bit lower - what are the best options (pref using Porsche parts), and approx costs????? I was thinking about 10-20mm lower, not as low as a Mk1 GT3 (which is 20-30mm lower than standard isn't it???). Want to do it 'properly', ie not just use lowering springs.

Thanks all!

I've got a Techart system on mine.

It ride height makes it a pain round town, and difficult getting in and out of the garage.

The ride is much harsher than standard too, especially noticed when there's a full complement on board.

Changes in tyre pressure make a huge difference too. I've never really pushed a standard car so I couldn't tell what the difference in handling is.

I've considered going back to standard set-up on more than one occasion.

How much lower is it than standard?

20mm.

I have to avoid certain roads where I live, and the front splitter scrapes getting in and out of the garage.

Edited to say if you're ever down on the South Coast, come and have a look.
