Btw, you can check your options sticker to know exactly what you had

My suspension guru (Digital Chassis in Durham NC) set the rear Konis to medium and the fronts to soft.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What a difference! Initial butt-dyno says much more stable in corners. Hit an expansion joint on an interstate on ramp that would unsettle the car previously. Now the car does not move an inch laterally. Just ate it.
At 78K the old struts were shot, so surprisingly the ride comfort really is not that different. If you are riding on original suspension it may be time for a change.
About $2500 total with parts and installation, including EBS spacers - 10mm front/18mm rear.
As for the stance... the shadows in the photo don't really do it justice. The car looks amazing. Between this upgrade and my Fister D mufflers, the car now looks and sounds the way it should have from the factory.
It looks like you may have had a ROW M030 suspension on it before your refit (it's definitely lower than a standard US suspension in the "before" photo). It certainly didn't drop very much, but looks really good none the less!
My suspension guru (Digital Chassis in Durham NC) set the rear Konis to medium and the fronts to soft. Rear stiffer for rear engine bias and the front softer to avoid bounce. So far seems right.
Just the springs and Konis + wheel spacers. Everything else was fine. Got the spring/Koni kit from Tire Rack. Paragon has essentially the same kit at same price. Spacers from EBS Tuning.
Like Fister D mufflers, every 996 owner should do this.
