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.

Suggestion

You will need to have the geometry set anyway, as you have to remove most of the suspension to change the springs, the length of which controls the ride height.

If reset required do you reset to values for std ride height as I presume there would be a camber change with a lower height?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

If 10mm, I would use the M030 settings, and if more then the X73/74 settings.

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

I am considering lowering my 996 C2. If I do this do i need to have the geometry reset?, If reset required do you reset to values for std ride height as I presume there would be a camber change with a lower height? Thanks for your experience.

POST 2Original post

You will need to have the geometry set anyway, as you have to remove most of the suspension to change the springs, the length of which controls the ride height. Depends on how much you are lowering it. If 10mm, I would use the M030 settings, and if more then the X73/74 settings. If you need the setting values, drop me an email.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard. I think I am looking at a 30mm drop. I found geometry setup data online but dont know of correct. Please can you email to me. [email removed] thanks Gordon

POST 4Original post

That's considerable. Factory settings will be useless - you'll need someone who knows what they're doing.

Porsche were daring back then! These days that sort of change would be reserved for the supermarket car park fraternity!
