Lowering is GREAT (photos)

Eibach Pro Spring Kit Installed with OEM Shocks...here's a "before and after" shot:



And a few others:





Car feels and drives great. Well worth the time and money, in my humble opinion, to lower your 964. Kudos to Jeff (rennlist) again for his excellent procedure, which made the install go very smoothly.

Robert I'm wondering if you added a Bump Steer Kit at the same time?
If not you could be running in to geometry problems and obvious shaking from your steering wheel as you pass over unleveled ground.

Check them out on the PP website.

Robert, sorry about the last post, for some reason I thought this was an earlier one. Disregard last post.

Robert,

Looks great! How do you like the ride? I went the same route but with H&R's.

Mmmm, yes, that's a huge improvement... no offense, but it looked like it belonged in a rally before.

Yeah, I got your PM, sorry I didn't answer, I've been kinda busy - glad I could help, I'm always happy to help out a fellow Porschephile. Let me know how your project goes.

She used to drive like she was on rails, and now she drives like she's on magnetized rails. I had never lowered a car before, and am amazed at the improvment.

Now the ride is a bit more harsh, but not objectionable. The roads here in Atlanta are mostly decent, so I'm happy. VERY happy.

Yeah, I did the fronts first, and you should have seen the look on my face when I lowered the floor jack and she settled down on the new springs for the first time. Schweet! I couldn't WAIT to get started on the rears.

I gotta be careful getting out of my driveway...if I don't take it at a bit of an angle, she scrapes a bit.
