Suggestion
I reckon they are low enough from factory - if it was me i would be only replacing suspension if there was an issue with existing
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.

considering lowering with eibach springs and looking for new wheels. any tips before i get started? also thinking of putting on a front lip. currently bog std 997.1 c2.
Consider shocks, (are you just chasing the look - or perhaps some extra corner carving) Depending on the intended use of the car, will determine the amount of lowering you 'need' and whether the extra spend is required. I'd be tempted to also change out the strut tops and look closely at the lower control arms.
otherwise - enjoy
I'm doing it for cosmetics. Base 997 and just seems too high. Def enjoy spirited driving,hoping shocks are still good. If not will be regretting not going directly to coil overs lol.
I'm with you, the standard car is about 100mm too high in my opinion, well at least 75mm. My personal opinion is that coil overs are overkill for the road, but horses for courses
I am also of the opinion that you will not regret swapping out the springs. Pics before and after please
Eibach Pro Kit are a nice spring that mates well with the standard shocks. I’ve had them on my 996 and 997 and a mate has them on his 997.2 and loves them.
They are Roderick wheels from the US, I don't think they sell. this style in these sizes anymore.
Thanks, Bille is actually my last name so I made it work.

Where depends on so many things:
East Coast Suspension is highly recommended
Autohaus Hamilton knows porsches extremely well and if you need extra parts is likely to have them on hand
Autowerks on the Central Coast is my new place to go, they are close to me sure, but man they know their stuff.
Hey
Total newbie here but have just bought a 2009 997.2 and am thinking about trying to make it look a little more aggressive e.g. new bumper, lower it, skirts etc.
I've had this Moshammer kit mentioned to me - do you know where this one was installed / good places where it could be?
Thanks
Rich
