Default Back on the 928

With the parts car gone and racing season almost over I am back on the Grey 928. It look like the PO lowered the car and the spoiler is dragging on the RF.
Question is there a ride height adjustment or did he cahnge teh springs out and lower the car??

He could have put in shorter springs, but the ride height is adjustable as well. The spring perches have threaded collars that are adjustable with a spanner wrench.

If you have trouble finding a spanner wrench check your local motorcycle shop. Dirt bikes and sportsbikes have adustable suspension that works the same way.

Thanks all, I will look up the ride height in the shop manual to get it correct.
Car is running OK, still need to get an air flow meter and cure the shudder at 1500 rpm.
