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.

Earlier in the year I thought I might change my 996 for a targa or a convertible, on the off chance that the sun comes out this summer.

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

Earlier in the year I thought I might change my 996 for a targa or a convertible, on the off chance that the sun comes out this summer. But having discovered that doing a like-for-like (i.e. same year/mileage/spec) swap with a dealer would cost me in the region of £4k, it seemed a bit daft. So, time to call in Plan B (and I don't mean the pop band). Consequently I've just booked my car in with Andy at ProMax, so he can fit new suspension all round. I've plumped for the Porsche Tequipment stuff as it's just such good value right now. A little stiffer (but not track-day only harsh) and lowered by 10mm - so should be perfect for my usual country road driving. By the time its all supplied and fitted, along with some other bits and bobs such as new top mounts and lower control arms, the bill will probably be around the £2K mark. Given that the car will visually sit that little bit lower, handle that little bit better, and possibly feel that little bit faster (and certainly be quieter as it will rid me of the current odd front suspensions squeak/groan) it should be money well spent. He says, desperately trying to justify it to himself...

No need to justify, sounds like a perfect solution. [ ]

POST 3Original post

I did it myself yes go for it . you want to look at design911 kit for 1200 (fully adjustable) as the porsche sports suspension does not include the top mounts (170 each) which design 911 kit does so price wise it is close
