lower my 911 targa 79 to euro spec??

I change my 6,7 X16 fuchs to 7,8X16 and it looks nice but to much space between the fender and the tire.

So i want to go lower to euro specs, but i cant get them any where , someone know them? or where can i look for the euro specs.

Thanks
Nando

You're talking about the '79, not the '76, right?

Just lower it an inch.

7 and 8 x 16's will fit fine (but not on the '76).

Front very easy, rear not so much.

The ride height is measured as the difference in height between the t-bar center and the wheel center, here is a pic of the front, a - b = rideheight, for the car pictured 124mm, in front the bigger the # the lower the car, in back the same measuerements are done but the tbar will be above the wheel center so there it's b - a + rideheight and the lower the # the lower the car


for RoW '79 SC
front 108+/-5 rear 16+/-5 so the lowest spec height is 113/11

if you do some research you will find that the lowest spec height ever on these cars was 113+/-5 or 118min, many of us run lower up to ~130+/- set the back so there is a slight forward rake somewhere ~30mm
and use one of the steering rack bump steer kits ~$15
