Maybe start a thread and include wheel specs and pictures.
Here's a pic of my 993 with H&R Springs with Bilstein shocks set to approx. RS height if not a bit lower. My shocks are fully threaded but I think the current perch location is actually lower than the stock shock position.

Gorgeous pictures of a lowered 95. I am told that the H&R springs on the car I am buying (don't have it yet, only looked at it and drove it once) have been on since the first owner, which would mean they are 9 years old at least. I don't know how spring technology has come along in the last 10-15 years, but I do know that these springs cause the rear drivers side tire (mostly) to rub when going over moderate bumps.
The tire sizes that are on there now are:
205/50ZR15 front
255/40ZR17 rear
Now, I drove the car in what I am told is one of the best States for roads (Wisconsin), and it still rubbed on occasion. When I get the car back to Canada, I know it will rub a lot more.
Any ideas on what to do? If I have to change out the entire springs, then so be it. Any thoughts on different springs out there that will still give me a lowered look, but still prevent the tires from rubbing? I don't know much about spring brands.
Thanks!
