I would look into replacing different shocks instead of springs to improve your ride.

My son and I picked up this sweet SY c4s in houston last August. The car has been a joy to own and drive. It needed a good detail but it is everything I wanted. I have done quite a few fly and drive on really fun cars but this was the first time I got to do it with my son. He is a gear head and Porsche fanatic. Next steps: revert suspension to original, full service of fluids including coolant, brake, tranny etc.
the car has some nice options:
xenons, bose, sport seats, deviated stitching and silver face gauges. Previous owner added 997 ipd plenum, eve intake, revoteknik software flash, car graphic exhaust, BM short shifter and HR sport springs(which will be removed)
I added clear bra and tint. Love the car
i picked up wide body twist wheels with blizzaks from craigslist already. Also found a crazy deal on OEM bike and ski racks that were never used. we are ready for some fun on the snow.
Congrats! Good to hear it will be an all-weather driver. If your son is of driving age, make sure there's plenty of room for him to get a feel of P-car AWD. Nice options too!
Nice find!
Re the springs, I like the look as well. I'm real curious as to how you find the ride. I've heard some say it's bone jarring rough, others say it feels good and goes with the character of the car. What do you think?
I have a very similar optioned and modded C4s and absolutely love it, will be lots of fun, Sport Seats really set off the vehicle, awesome support and feel, dont think I could get another porsche without the sport seat option now that I have been jaded by them ha ha
I think I would keep it as is if I lived in texas (smooth roads)
The roads are miserable here. It is not bone jarring at all. Very sporty and I love clover leaves on ramps. The car is insanely flat. They are a little bouncy.
He is 5 and a total gear head. We picked up the car and drove to Porsche of north Houston. They installed the airbag deactivate bar that I took off my old boxster. He rode shotgun all the way back. Here is the kicker. I got three year old twins and their seats are in the back. Most people have to do double takes when they see three kids come out of a 911
I would look into replacing different shocks instead of springs to improve your ride. The ride height is perfect and replacing different springs will not help ride quality as much as different shocks.
I drove my boys in a 79'SC from 1994-1998 and they were always excited when they went in my Porsche, but in 94' they were 13 and 15 years old, not as young as your children.
The previous owner put the H&R's over the oem shocks. Eventhough I like the looks, the car is too low for daily driving. Bilsteins would match the current HRs better you are correct, but it would not do anything for the low ride height. I am likely to to revert to stock. I do not like the 4x4 look however it scrapes more my alley driveway in city of Denver.
That explains a lot. new springs over OEM shocks = crappy ride. I have low ride height on all my pcars. You just have to approach your drive way from an angle. I can only exit one direction when leaving my driveway and don't consider it sacrifice.
US stock height is not the way our cars were designed to perform. It was raised to conform to US DOT laws and in turn handles terribly. H&R springs is more ROW (rest of the world) ride height but hey its your money.
The speed yellow is an awesome color, glad to hear you and your son got to enjoy the trip. Are you going to do the fluids before winter hits then ? I would also consider a
Master LED Kit
if you haven't yet. Enjoy
Looks great. I love the color and the seat backs (although I might be a bit biased). I'm jealous of the dual oval tips (still need to get them). Like you, I love the looks I get when my two kids jump out of the car! Enjoy!!!
