I had the ride height adjusted upward 3/4 of an inch and it looks much better and has less bump steer. Now I just need some spacers. I am thinking 5mm in the rear and at least 7mm in the front. Will I need to install longer studs if I go 7mm or 10mm spacers in the front?

I dropped off my 91 Turbo this morning to 3R Racing in Denver to have some new coilovers installed. They have supported some winning World Challenge cars and know the p-cars well. I bought some new RH wheels over a year ago and never got around to putting them on the car so I figured this would be a good time. The car is all stock minus a secondary muffler bypass and a crap head unit (that is being addressed next month). I decided to go with the H&R setup built by Bilstein and designed for this car. This is just my fun car, no track use, so I figured this would tighten up the handling nicely.
I found a picture of this other 964 turbo, bottom photo, and like the ride height. Will this height be murder around town if I am careful? I don't know the height, just like the stance with the wheels. Let me know your thoughts.

I just picked up the car after having a 22 hour paint correction done and the tint removed. My buddy snapped a photo driving home from the shop. Doesn't do the incredible paint correction justice, however, you can see my new ride height in action. The new H&R setup is great and the car handles great. Now I just need to measure for some modest spacers and will call it done for now.

Looks awesome! I never used to like guards red but lately I have really started to appreciate it.

The 964 on those wheels look perfect.
I really got to put my wheels on as they ready and waiting!
In terms of my stock suspension, how much lower can i get it before going aftermarket?

Adam's Polishes just posted this pic of my car after they detailed it last week, you can see the new ride height but look at that paint. Pretty nice for 25 years old.

Deeeeeeeelicious. 
I have a white Porsche too, but even when fully detailed, it really does not sparkle like a good red or blue. Blacks are awesome when it looks like you could dive into deep black liquid. And I love speed yellow too, but it's hard to get it to that level.
Nicely done mmporsche!!
Did they tape it up to cover the rubber products & seams?

Based on your photo I don't believe you will be able to lower it any further with the stock setup. You can install shorter springs, however, this is kind of a short-cut IMO. I also found that two of my shocks were leaking so new springs aren't going to help that situation. These cars are 22+ years old so new coilovers may be needed. Again, I chose the H&R kit designed specifically for the 964T. I believe it is built by Bilstein and marketed by H&R. I am very satisfied with the new ride quality. It is definitely firm but great fun when you start pushing the car through corners.

The car is in spectacular condition, if your looking for spacers I would suggest FVD.
On my ex 3.6 I installed 3mm upfront and 5mm in the rear, it looked perfect.
I wouldn't run anything more than 5mm for the fronts. If your looking for longer studs I believe H&R do sell TRACK+ spacers which come with everything to exceed 5mm whilst still complying for TUV.
