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.

My refresh has been coffins arms, tuning forks, toe arms and then rear dampers (fronts were replaced by previous owner 20k before I bought it) you can only get M030 springs form Porsche and as I aim to keep spend sensible I just went for bilstein b4 dampers as any other options opened up another can or worms with springs, top mounts etc.

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all So I finally bought a 996! 8) 8) Engine is good but I think the suspension and ride could do with a little upgrading! I have a few questions Mine is fitted from the factory with m030 suspension, but I'm not sure whether than means it should be so low? Does anyone have any photos of their car or a car with standard m030 suspension so I can see whether mine has lowering springs aswell? Just not sure what to order as I like how it sits at the moment but the springs are heavily corroded, the shocks can't be much better. Also, I'm looking at the coffin arms and tuning forks from Spyder Performance. While I'm there doing the lower arms, tuning forks and potentially the shocks and springs what else is worth doing to make a difference to how the car handles? It's a 1998 Carrera 2 coupe btw

POST 2Original post

A pic of my '99 on 'standard' MO30 if that helps...

POST 3Original post

Actually these are the pictures I was looking for, less 'arty' but probably more useful :wink:

POST 4Original post

Mine is on its original springs and I thought it would have dropped from factory measurements but it is still surprisingly close to spec. My refresh has been coffins arms, tuning forks, toe arms and then rear dampers (fronts were replaced by previous owner 20k before I bought it) you can only get M030 springs form Porsche and as I aim to keep spend sensible I just went for bilstein b4 dampers as any other options opened up another can or worms with springs, top mounts etc. i also used spyder performance parts, been happy with them so far.

POST 5Original post

This is mine with new Bilstein M030 rear dampers and newish OEM springs fitted. By the way, I have the complete rear damper set up with new bump stops, top mounts, dust covers etc. on them in the classifieds. Under 1000 miles on them.

POST 6Original post

It might be easier to post a side on pic of your car up so we can take a look
