Lowering my 964 question

Groovy911SC · 02-10-2004, 05:55 AM

I have a 1990 C4 that I would like to lower. At the same time I would like to upgrade the shocks and springs. Perhaps even upgrading the sway bars. Can anyone point me in the direction of which components might work best for this car? Any information would be appreciated!

I bought the H&R coilover set up offered by www.carnewal.com for the 964 and was very pleased. I only had my car for about a month after all the work (suspension install alignment corner balance) and someone hit me and totaled the car so I never really got to thrash it about.

I am about to install a set of H&R springs on my C2 I am hoping they wont be too stiff. I am going to retain the shocks as they are not all that old. I heard that both H&R and Eibach are very good. The coil over set up is the best way to go if you can afford it being fully adjustable.

I recommend the factory Porsche 964 RS suspension. Parts are available. A little more than aftermarket but WOW!

The choice of spring rates, shock damping and anti-roll bars were really well thought out by Porsche in this package. The handling limits are very high yet progressive, this setup makes the car so well behaved at the limit it becomes easier to drive very fast and remains controllable. It may also be a good idea to have a limited slip to balance this out properly.
