Bought a "slammed" one... but not properly done, how to move forward.

Hi there You beautiful people! During winter time here in Sweden I bought my first Porsche, a -98 C2. I bought it fully functional, passed MOT last Year but it had been driven, plenty... some bits and pieces to sort out, AC, some clips, brakes etc. a project car basically And as You can see on the pictures it is very low, but driving it on somewhat good roads the drive is not harsh in any major way, kind of what I expected really. But what I started to notice quite early was during parking maneuvers and turning the wheel to end lock the sound created when hitting the "hard stop" (You'll see in the picture) was less then pleasant. Initially I thought it might be the outer ball joint on the steering rod to knuckle that was worn, but today I took a close look. Hacks and bodges in combination with some type of coliovers (H&R?) So definitely not the correct setup and I would like Your thoughts in the way forward. One easy one is spend 4000� and swap everything, but I'm not in the mood for that. My initial idea is to first try to raise the car approx 10-15mm to see what effects that has on the clearance between the Swaybar and OTR. After that I'm open to suggestions, is the Swaybar the correct one? Links wrong/to short? My plan is to try to fix the setup myself and then go for an alignment setup plus new OTR's. And no, the cars in the background is not mine.... Br/Johan

So the tie rod link is hitting the sway bar. It also looks like that shock is bad by the wetness in the lower body. U can order the correct longer sway bar links that r adjustable and fix the contact issue. It does appear that u have coilivers on the car not the original struts. U may be able to thread down the sway bar mount on the shock to raise the car. It all depends on how much thread there is on the body. Im sure u have someone on that side of the pond that can supply the links but here is one of my favorite vendors in the states. https://tarett.com/collections/swayb...front-extended Also for refference the car looks lime gt3 height which is not that low. My car at gt3 height.

Looks like it's just the end links. They shouldn't be kinked like that, either. I think you might need the adjustable ones since your car is low. My car is low as well, and I have no issues. When I changed my end links to adjustables, the front links were noticeably longer than the rear ones.

That setup looks... different. The sway bar link is bolted to the bracket on the coilover rather than bolting through the wheel carrier, which leaves the bar way out of the position I would expect. Mine's about the same height with Feals. OEM-style fixed links worked for me, but they're connected to the regular spot too.

Yes it is very different. It is a gt3 style mount which requires a much longer link. Also it looks like that link was welded togther? Op find the part number on the upright to see if someone swaped in a gt3 or turbo part. Was that car a c4 at any point in its life? U can see this with my set up. I have gt3 ohlin coilovers with tarrett sway bar mounts and links. My uprights are stronger rsr parts so yours wont look like mine oven if they r gt3.

Thanks for Your answers and thoughts, I'll start with adjustable links I think. New dampers might be the winter project..

Seems I need to spend more time with the GT3 crowd

I guess my quick fix would be to find two fixed longer aftermarket link first to ease up the clearance issue and then have that length as a reference finding suitable adjustable ones. Any suggested distance to a reference point the the swaybar when lifted? for example lower linkarm bolt to lower control arm? I guess that is dependent of the stroke I have... Or just find the middle ground between the OTR and link arm. Br/J

Well it all moves together so remove links, position the sway bar itself about an inch higher then the lower control arm amd measure the distance. That will get u close.
