H&R Sport Springs
Anyone recommend these?
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptabl.jsp?category=Springs&autoMake=Porsche&autoModel=911+Carrera+Tar ga&autoYear=2002&brand=H%26R&x=98&y=13" target="_blank">H&R Sport Springs</a>
I found these on TireRack, they are H&R Sport Springs for the 2002 Targa. Lowers car 1.25" in the front and 1.25" in the rear.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't go with these? Would it be bad to just add these springs without changing the shocks?
Regards,
Dan

Have a look at the Panorama article on <a href="http://www.pca.org/panorama/sample_article_3.html" target="_blank">996 Standard and Sport Suspensions Analyzed</a>.
In conclusion they don't recommend mixing.

OK, I'm taking delivery Saturday on a new '02 C2 Coupe...it may see a track day or three, plus a lot of spirited backroad driving, so I want to lower it (really more for appearance) and stiffen the ride a bit. However, the car is a 24 month lease, so I don't want to go to the trouble or expense of coilovers or anything so fancy (I'd rather blow the money on slicks & GT100 gas). I had figured that I would just get the H&Rs, but now I'm wondering what I should do...any further advice for my situation? Thanks.

02-targa911,
First I am going with the Sports Exhaust, just love that rumble...
I am also interested in the rear C4S bumper, looks nice with the grilles.

targaman, congrats on the exhaust and looking forward to your impressions. I'm sure it'll blow you away <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />
I don't know if the C4s rear bumper will fit, you might try contacting RUF as he makes the same look but for narrow-body 996s. All you'll be missing is somesort of rear spoiler that will actuely fit the targa. The only company that sells one is speedart (www.speedart.de) I didn't like the way it looks in their pics but you might

I spoke with <a href="http://www.mashaw.com" target="_blank">Mike Shaw</a>, board sponsor, and we have concluded that the C4s rear bumper will fit. The only extra parts are some kind of metal hardware for re-routing the exhaust tips. Other than that, should be a perfect fit. Going to hold off till I get the sports exhaust on. Also, I got my turbo bumper from him, he is an absolute wonderful guy and is very helpful. His prices are excellent.
