Do you think it changes the front?

I dont think you want to cut it - the new spring rates should be stiffer and you dont want to change the max travel of the shock - most likely

Use both

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

32 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 996 3.6 x 51 with original shocks and springs h & r. I checked the distances from the center of the wheels to the front fender on the car and 'higher than 5 mm. I checked the assembly code and it 's all right, only the rubber cushion in front touches the top, that' there is no rush. cut 1-2 cm? Do you think it changes the front? If I wanted to lower the car 1 cm cutting the springs?

POST 4Original post

[QUOTE=cut 1-2 cm? Do you think it changes the front? If I wanted to lower the car 1 cm cutting the springs?[/QUOTE] Sounds like you want to lower your car by cutting the springs. I've heard of people doing this before, but on a 10 year old Honda Civic, not a Porsche. I wouldn't do it.

POST 5Original post

Do NOT cut the springs. I don't understand most of your post, but if you cut the springs they will no longer seat properly on the strut collar or top mount (depending on which end you cut) and will likely be unsafe. Also, the process of cutting them will likely throw the spring rate out of spec, not to mention result in the bottoming out of your shocks & struts leading to $$$ repairs. Do NOT cut your springs. Ever. On any car.

POST 6Original post

You guys actually understood what he was talking about???

POST 7Original post

Sounds-reads like english is not primary with OP. Won't PSS9 or MO30 ROW suspension lower the car? https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...4-vs-pss9.html

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the original shocks and springs h & r. the car in front and 'higher than 5 mm. the rebound bumper touch up front, cut them?

POST 9Original post

So you have shorter springs and the rebound bumper is hitting? Would the car drop the 5mm when you remove the bumper? Isn't the bumper progressive? Almost solid to hollow accordian? I think if the bumper is compressed enough to hold the car up then wrong bumper/shocks for the springs. How much "extra" travel is there before the shock is bottomed out internally without the bumper there? In other words if you cut the bumper what is the next stop when you hit a bump that fully compresses the suspension? If it is the shock you risk destroying the shock when the suspension bottoms out.

POST 10Original post

I dont think you want to cut it - the new spring rates should be stiffer and you dont want to change the max travel of the shock - most likely I ran eibach springs on stock shocks and nothing was cut - work AOK

POST 12Original post

Those springs are progressive. You cut them and they will not work properly. The upper narrow part of the spring is the "stronger spring area". You'll risk the chance of bottoming out the springs. The springs h&r 'progressive. Cut = New shocks in 6 months.

Ed, Lay off the booze... he is talking about the rubber bumper

Ale-Superbike, DO NOT CUT. Or, in the interest of helping him in whatever his native language is: Moet nie uitgeroei! A nuk e prer�! لا قطع! Ez moztu! Не режете! No es talli! 不要停! Nemojte rezati!

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

To decrease a little, I cut the springs?

POST 21Original post

Ale-Superbike, DO NOT CUT THE SPRINGS! Damn, this is like trying to convince Ed that not all Porsche parts will fit his '99 996!

POST 22Original post

Well, Tim, ya can't say I didn't try to tell him not to cut 'em...

POST 23 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok how can lowering the front a little? An old craftsman in Italy experienced the rally heats up and bends, but I am not convinced, another cuts instead.

POST 24Original post

Holy mackerel! (fish posted for reference) Ale-superbike; please sell your porsche and buy Japanese

POST 25Original post

Cut only for weekend events and DE�s, for street applications use this method instead. For competitive racing and securing a podium place use both.

LOL Tim, that pic makes me want to hurt whoever owns that Turbo... LOL

POST 32Original post

Yes, I know what you mean. That car has "air shocks" and can be raised/lowered on the fly. There was another pic with both the front and rear lowered. I think both bumpers were on, or very near, the ground.
