Default Lowering the 911
What is everyone using? It was brought to my attention after the new wheels and tires that the car needs to be lowered. I do not want to make the ride really bouncy or rough, I lowered my M8 Comp I had and it totally screwed the ride on it.

No.

You have a 200k+ car, are you seriously concerned about 5k? Which is about less than 2% of the MSRP of your car.

I did Techart non- adjustable lowering springs. Not harsh, no clunk, great stance, good value

Yeah I am, just because I can afford this car doesn't mean I just like to throw money around. I'd like to keep some of the money I worked hard to get.

Thanks. Do you by chance have any pics of them on your car.

Any time you lower a car you are going to affect the suspension dynamics.

If you have the factory lowering, the car sits very nice as is IMO.

I understand, I do not have the factory sport suspension or whatever it is called. After replacing the wheels and tires it does have too much of a gap in my opinion.

Wonder if you could buy the stock 10mm lowering spring? If that would work?
