Question Ride height

My 97 993 has US springs and shocks and sits high. Can I just change the springs? Or, must I change the shocks as well?

Thanks

The ROW springs are designed to lower a US car by 30 mm ± 10 mm. If your car sits too high, you may want to consider a coilover suspension which allows lowering of up to 50 mm.

Jesse,

If you decide to go the least expensive route and just change the springs, you might want to check out the following auction currently on Ebay ($2 starting price on Eibachs):

I believe the auction description exaggerates the true lowering when it claims "2 inches" (see Viken's post above).
