I have a Becker cdr-220 as do many. It's the unit from the 996. Becker in NJ can sell you a revised flaceplate for the viewing angle. IMO, looks very factory/original. Let me know if you need more info or do a search, many comments and pictures regarding the item.

Arrest me red

Bilstein HD's, H&R Greens, and a G-pipe is where I would start. Maybe I am a little bias because that is where I started:-)

Great looking car. Welcome.......

Thanks a bunch guys, I did buy the H&R greens and Bilsteins but now I'm leaning towards the KW V1's. I have KW's on my daily driver(05' Passat 1.8T 4mo 5spd) and I love them. Plus the ride height adjustability is really what I'm looking for, I had no idea how little the shock bodies actually adjusted the ride height with the Bilsteins. I've not fitted the Bilstein/H&R's yet but I'm just not sure they will go low enough for me.

Seriously considering the KW V1's also. Seems like a worthwhile alternative/upgrade from the H&R/Bilsteins. And considerable less expensive than the V3's for a non-track car.

The Bilstein's have less spring adjustment than the stock shocks, you really need to put on the H&R's, which are shorter, before you make a final decision on new coil-overs.
