Hi guys, been lurking here for some time now and find it a great place for
all things Porsche. I've had my '90 C4 (90K) here in the UK for a little over 3 years
now, in which time i've enjoyed every minute! Had very few problems really in that time,and as a daily drive i'm very happy.
My biggest expense were the brakes that had a refurb by my local Indy, new discs (rotors), pads, fluid and caliper rebuild/paint.
Suspension is the next major project to get a little lower!
Just finishing a couple of interior jobs myself which i've not seen done on here yet so i'll post up when complete.
Thanks to all you guys that have helped me out on here with your knowledge
without even knowing!!
Regards Andy.

Welcome aboard! Great looking car. But yup - she needs to come down.There are a lot of options - and lots of threads about various ride heights - you just need to sort out your ultimate goal for the car and the solution will follow.
I've got the H&R kit and am VERY pleased - perfect blend of firm ride and lower stance.
Futhrer, I've recently received excellent customer service from H&R in the US. No afffiliation - just a happy customer.

G'day Andy and welcome... your car looks fantastic! When you come to doing the suspension you will get lots of good information from other C4 owners on the forum. Mine is also a '90 C4 and I've been really happy with the KW Variant 3 coilovers as have others but there are a number of other good choices depending on your intended use.
Would love to see a few more pics of the interior....

No idea Steve, should have done it ages ago....but better late than never.
Thanks for the comments guys, it's always nice to hear what other owners
think of your ride.
With regard to the suspension i've spoken to Chris Franklin @ Center Gravity,
he's at the top of his game here in the UK. I have a number of choices open
to me although i'd never discount any info freely offered by yourselves.
RK, I'd agree it does need to come down someway, more at the front I think, but don't want to go too low that it catches on speedhumps and the like!
Neil, i've heard good reports about those KW's, but do ya think they may be
a bit too full on for a daily drive? Roads over here ain't the best!!
A pic. of the interior from when I first bought it. I'll take a few more when
i've finished my little project.
Cheers Andy.

Welcome! The car looks great! Is your steering wheel a non-airbag model? My '90 C4 has a different wheel (of course, it's also on the other side!). Drive in good health.

Can't decide what to change it to yet though!

Thanks again guys for the welcome and comments.
Mojo747; Have any pics of the Momo wheel?
Rocket Rob; Is becoming a member a worth while mod then?
Kahdmus; They're 996 Carrera 4 wheels. 17" and went straight on with no issues.
Crystal Cranks; I'd agree, the feel is as important as the look for me. Nice wheel
and thanks for the pic.
Cheers Andy.
