912E Rear End lowering

[Crimora Porsche]

Just need some help on lowering the rear end of my 912E. I know this has been covered before but having trouble finding it.

It's a PITA.

See this little bugger?


You'll have to do this:


Readers Digest:

1. Disassemble control arm and swing arm connection.
2. Hold control arm up with a floor jack.
3. Have a magnetic angle gauge available and make note of the swing arm angle
4. Remove swing arm from the torsion bar and move both (the swing arm and/or the torsion bar) for the desired ride height.

Moving the bar itself in the body will net you a certain amount of ride height change and the arm on the other end of the bar will net you another distance (I don't have the figures in front of me). Search is thy friend... Check for the 911 rear torsion bar angle chart that Tom Fitzpatrick (last name... I think) did. It's out there and referenced here.

Good luck.
