wide body cars have different offsets so the above is optimum if you really want to fill the arches out.

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.

After a lot of consideration and research I made the plunge. I went with H&R 20-25mm lowering springs and am very pleased with the end result.
I was very concerned how they would effect handling and have read some horror story's but have to say all is good with mine. I installed myself and made sure all suspension parts went back in the same position as removed. When the springs where fitted and I lowered the lift to see the end result the car sat with fantastic posture but too low to get off the lift arms! Will have to make some 10mm plinths for the car to sit on for the future!
Anyway, took the car out this morning after getting it off the lift and its not effected the handling at all, yes it is slightly more firm but only because I'm looking for it otherwise I might not have noticed - if that makes sense??
The cars posture is now how I believe it should be and looks more How it should!
Before...
After...
I agree the car looks good. Often thought those 997 1 standard alloys were one of the most attractive designs.....
Agree with Sidicks the plate looks woeful, spoils the car and apart from being illegal is definitely one for the Crappy numberplates thread........

Already have, had a police officer on the drive about two years ago! Got a warning and lecture and as you can see it had no effect!
Lovely car. Plate doesn't complaint it.
SI-PEN, great anagram!
That just looks SO good (and I really don't care about number plates, why not have a play if you want to).
I don't know what to do with my wheels - I've got a Cobalt 997.1S - its on Sport Design wheels at the moment. I really wanted Carrera Sports when I bought it, then settled on liking the Sport Design - now erring towards the lobster claws or the Carrera Classics. I think the lobster claws have matured nicely over time...

Have you had the geo done? Its very important!
No not yet, only finished it today but know it needs doing. I have the sports chassis geo settings and plan to get it set to those which are the closest I've found to suit. That said, its pretty good as it is so can only get better after geo.

Needs 5mm spacers at front and 15mm spacers at rear to finish it off.
This though id go 10mm all round.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
