Cool Lower front: keep stock springs (Using Spring Perches)

For those of you that want to lower the front end of your car a bit without changing front springs, and remain totally stock, these spring perches will do the trick. They allow the front spring to be adjusted lower hence the car rides lower. And they can help fine tune a corner balance.

In addition, I don't know if Dopke is making them anymore, hence they are now made of "unobtanium": You can't find them. The ones advertised below will fit a 993, the rear perches will not work as the stock rear shocks are not threaded.

Unhappy

The ad I mention is a WTB, so sorry. I do know where spring perches are available. If you are interested, drop me an e-mail.
