No extreme handling change but do it for the looks if nothing else. Note that the thick washers on top of the front struts have to come out to keep the proper geometry. They were put there only for the US ride height cars.

Euro ride height measured from the fenders is roughly 25.5" front, 25" rear.
Don't get too wild with the lowering. I actually raised the front of my car to 25.5" and the ride improved dramatically. The previous owner slammed the car down as low as it would go and there was zero suspension travel left. After you lower the car you should get it aligned by a shop that knows 911s. |
