Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I installed such a kit on my '02 996 cab a few years ago, and saw both the reduced ride height and significantly improved handling.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there a good source for European springs? In the case of the 996TT and C4S, I believe the difference is -20mm front, -10mm rear. This is a small difference, but I think the Eibach/H&R solution of 1-1.25" is a bit much for the dips in the street where I live...

POST 2Original post

My recommendation--install a M030 RoW suspension kit. It's comprised of Porsche factory parts and gives you the 20mm front, 10 mm rear reduction in ride height you're seeking. I installed such a kit on my '02 996 cab a few years ago, and saw both the reduced ride height and significantly improved handling. I purchased mine from Suncoast parts and was completely satisfied. Another highly respected source is Carnewal (based in Europe but regularly supplies US customers) who appears to have sets for all 996s available per their website.

Thanks! I'll collect part #s from PET and compare. I have good friends in Germany who may be able to assist with better-than-web pricing. It's pricey on the Carnewal site: http://www.carnewal.com/products/P96...-for-P96-Coupe

POST 4Original post

Just keep in mind that the RoWM030 kit may not drop the height that much, if at all. I installed it about three years ago and while the handling was much improved, my ride height change was negligible. Several other members did it at about the same time and all got about the same results. If you are looking specifically to lower the suspension, the PSS10 set up may be a better choice, albeit more costly, as it's adjustable.
