I am thinking of lowering my C4S. But, I am afraid the conversion would make the ride to harsh ?? I have the stock wheels and tires with 15mm spacers front and back.
I would like to know some opinions on these springs. also, the pros and cons of lowering the suspension.
Thanxs.
Quote:
it's all subjective as to what your **** deems acceptable along the harshness front.
i'm lowered on pss9s and it's set at medium and i'm totally good to go. i'm never too tired of the ride quality.
and the improved looks when lowered is .... priceless.
Quote:
you should have only 15mm spacers in the rear... 15mm spacers in the front would be
well, you should consider two things when lowering your car: 1) better handling if setup correctly 2) more aggresive looks...
two things you may give up when you do this: 1) more harsh ride 2) not as relaible as OEM
and just my 2 cents, but stick with the entire coilover setup... springs alone are only half the job!

Wholly crap! That car is sick! I gotta have that. So, I'm a newbie and I'm looking for a C4S. I've searched the forums and know about the RMS and 2nd gear pop out issue. Any other issues I need to worry about? What about the 4WD system?
Quote:
FYI the aerokit lip is a factory option on the C4S.
The biggest diff maker to me is the suspension (lower) and the 19" wheels.
plus the lower unpainted parts are painted on the sides and rear as well. for me to be perfectly happy with the looks, i am considering adding techart side skirts and the rear pieces to make it all even/cohesive.

Noticed you have a MISHA wing also. On the Top lid part of these wings there's two openings. (for air I would assume) I was thinking of adding a type of grill to complete the look. (so that it's not just an opening) Did you leave your's alone or did you change it up. Only asking you since you've done a lot to your ride. Thanks. Any advice you can give a new Pcar owner would be appreciated. Mahalo...

Sorry, but I don't agree. It's a stock-looking C4S that's been lowered, that's it. All you do is take pics of it with different backgrounds, usually, disheveled (sp) backgrounds that makes the car look nicer. I think you should give it a rest and allow new pics to this thread. Previously someone joked that you are whoring the thread, but I wonder if he was really joking. JMO.

dameeeee whats with all the rudeness Pal... He can ***** his car all he wants, there is no rule against whoring now is there? if you dont like to see it, close your eyes... geez, winter is really getting to ppl...
damn...these cars are delicious!
996 C4S looks better than the 997 hands down! 997 looks generic and too plain. Porsche lost the stylings in the 997.
Nice stuff everyone!

thanks redridge! and the twists are most definitely missed
who knew a $300 paint job on a set of stock wheels would be a such a hit...those suckers are missed world wide
heres 2 shots for good measure
