Bob, that's about what it should run. Throw in another 300 or so for alignment, and corner balance/weighting and you're good to go. Did you and ricardo decide on a date yet?

His last e-mail indicated that Sat, Oct 27th was the consensus. Still works for me if it does for you fellows.

F4-VE3-5278-H0 right
F4-VE3-5277-H0 left

Springs H&R Porsche ("Red's")

I bought everything from Tire Rack.

Good Luck,

For the sake of the forum, and searching later, this setup works on my 1990 964 Carrera 2 (just finished the install tonight).

I'm not sure how you guys preserved your camber alignment after removing the original shocks. I just put the fronts at max negative camber (the rears are unaffected by this service).

I wanted to comment on the feel of the setup of the Bilstein HD's w/ the Red H&R springs referenced above. It feels on par with my E36 M3 in terms of ride quality, a bit stiffer. It's a bit softer than a Z4 2.5L 2003/2004 roadster with sports package. So ... it's livable on the street and on the freeway. By the way, my front shocks are on the shortest setting (I will get a ride height/corner balance this week). I would imagine that it would feel better with a little more ride height and less camber up front.

Yes. They are, indeed, red. Very red.
