Help with 964 suspension question

[GT2BH]

I picked up this 964 C2 a short while ago and the stance is all wrong.


It is much higher up front than the rear. I took a look at the suspension and it has bilstein shocks and mystery springs. The adjustment of the height is bottomed out which means it can't go lower up front which is strange. Did the previous owner install the wrong springs? Do I need new springs or should I go for a new setup completely?

That's a Bilstein b6 aka hd strut it's sipposed to 30mm below oe ride height

put a shorter spring on it or cut off a coil

they are supposed to use oe springs and mounts but who knows what is in there now

the same struts came on my car with OE springs. i found the PO had the fronts lowered all the way down, and rears only about half way but the car was still sitting high

ended up dropping in a set of H&R springs to tie me over until coilovers. maybe give that a try?

Looks like I'll place an order for H&R springs and hope it fixes the problem
