Default Front Axle Lift?

Is there a FAL kit for the 964? Anyone running one?

They sell a high performance compressor to replace the default one.

KW is making both 2 and 4 wheels Hydraulic Lift-System kits.

Looks like the KW HLS only provides 1" of lift. I was hoping to get 2"-3" of lift.

OK this looks like the system I will probably go with. Designed by a fellow RLer, I believe it can be used with my current H&R coilovers, they are just entering production and are going to modify it a bit for better clearance for our 964s. Price is right.

I have no affiliation.

I occasionally wish I could lower my 964. But there is a ramp that I need to negotiate almost daily that means lowering below stock ROW ride height is a no-no. A lift system like this could be interesting, but boy are they costly...

Here's a link to the KW site: http://www.kwsuspensions.net/catalog.../result/?q=HLS

Right, I'm in the same boat as you. Check out the link I posted above. The kit looks like it will be about $1200 USD. Much less than the competition because it uses your existing coil overs if you have them (I do). I don't know if it works with factory suspension.

Seems like the way to go for me but I'll have to wait until they get a 964 specific kit which they said they will be developing shortly.
