Default Another suspension Q, ...

I know there was a thread on these not to long ago, but can`t find it.

Currently Im running with these at the back




Anyone else using these?
they are from a 968 m030 option.
If so what else are you running in the front?
I have the m030 sway bars.

The problem is: I have to lower the car at the torsion bar, but can I lower it 1 1/2 ~2 " without compressing the helper spring to much? One option would be to raise the car slightly in front with some new springs and lower a bit less at the back.

Measured at the front from ground to fender ( top of wheel arch) 24,4"
AT the back 26,37" ...

Is this to low in front?

A better, more usefull measurement would be the center of the wheel to the fender lip. But from what you have posted, the front does not sound too low to me.

You won't be able to get the rear down low enough with the eccentric. You will need to re-index the t-bars in order to get preload on the springs and get it to the correct, matching ride height.

From center of the wheel to fender lip = 12,6" (!?)

probably need to lower it 2" at the back to match the front. Is this possible without getting to much preload on the helper spring?
