Has anyone done this? I have a 996 c2 I use as a DD in Houston, moving to Canada and can't kick the Porsche habit.
Looking to buy a high snow friendly 4 wheel drive vehicle for 2 years.
Remembering the 959 rally days, I wondered if anyone ever jacked up a C4 about 2-3 inches. Cayenne isn't an option, don't like them.

Raising that car requires some custom parts such as front & rear uprights, struts. shocks, and axles.
Porsche never sold those one-off items outside the factory so this would be very expensive to do.

Where in Canada are you moving too? You don't need 4 wheel drive or a raised car, just get some winter tires and use your brain when driving and you will be fine. For example I drive a 98 civic in the winter and it does me just fine.

Depends where in Canada, there are places where snow accumulates and a raised vehicle can come in handy. AWD/4WD is a plus, helps you go but doesn't help you stop.

I agree...keep the C2. I've driven my Boxsters through winter with just good winter tires. They're better than you think.
If you're going someplace where snow comes in dumpings, maybe add a Subaru for the extreme weather and drive the C2 the other 85% of the time?
