Lowering help
Hi guys, I'm having trouble finding the most economical way to drop the car down a bit. It sits far too high in the rear. The front isn't bad.
I've attached some old pictures that show some of my suspension. If more detailed photos are required I can do that tomorrow no problem. Both front and rear struts are bilstein, unsure of model or anything as the were on the car when I Got it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...646633ca97.jpg Current ride height. Id say it needs to come down about an inch or bit more https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0be601ab6c.jpg Front https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0511290d74.jpg Rear https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c684165226.png Could these work? |
D, Looking at your latest picture on your main running thread the back doesnt look too bad. Some rake. I suggest you start with measuring the height front and rear. Report back. |
too much rake.
rear shocks look older, but hard to say, not factory tho, rear springs look factory front shocks newer, front springs not factory if it were mine i'd want a matched set of shocks and springs At a minimum a set of springs. H&R, Eibach, whatever. If you don't know the age of the shocks... you're already in there .... |

I know it makes sense to probably start fresh but they look pretty good. |
I’m not sure whether you have the manual, but here are the measuring points: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...86ad809d02.png |
Yes got that sussed out, I remembered that from where you were showing to use an adjustable magnet! I'm quite keen to see where the car actually sits. I've only ever seen 1 other 964 up close before.

You got me beat I have had my MY91 C2 coupe for 4.5 years I had never saw a 964 before I first saw mine till Thursday morning when returning home from a week long camping trip I saw a black 964 Cab C4 Park in a local driveway 😁👍 I will track him down |
Had a look and realised I'll have to take shark fins and rockers back off to get measurements.
I'll have to do it another day as have too much to do around the house :crying: |

you can do it with the shark fins on. I made a measuring tool from a 10mm thick piece of plate steel and a cutoff piece of an old tie rod adjuster and part of the threaded portion. Tack welded the cut off tie rod piece vertically then just screwed the threaded piece in. Tip it sideways slide under car stand it up screw piece out till it touch correct spot slide it back out then measure from the plate to the top of screw add 10mm exact measurement. |
