So this is the progress so far on my new to me 996. I am looking for a more aggressive "Look" suspension. I seriously doubt I will ever track this car. This is just about my daily driver; I drive my truck a couple of times a week but mostly my 996. I drive somewhat aggressive at up to 80-100mph daily but few turns. 25 miles each way to work. I have 6 speed bumps to cross in my neighborhood.

I have searched till my eyes bleed and can not decide on what is best.

Here are the reasons I am asking your opinion:
Factory Aero kit
19" rims...19x11 on rear(if it matters)
C4 cab.

Btw I don't want to spend over 1k for suspension. I would love a set of Pss9's but are too much for what I need. Maybe a used set if I could find them.

You could get the ROW M030 suspension for about $1K. It will lower your car about 20mm.

Two pairs ($750 & $1000) of used GT3 adjustable coilovers:

It would look much better lowered. However, you might have rubbing issues because it looks like your rear wheel offset is pretty aggressive from this angle.

We should all be members. If we can afford Porsche's, then we can afford the annual subscription fee.

Not all regions are the same, though. Sure, some are very active, but others are simply a social club with few other activities, and little incentive for someone to join. 20 years ago, it may have been the only place to get together with fellow Porsche owners and chat p-cars, but today, we have the internet for that.

I think jmla is speaking of paid rennlist membership with access to member classifieds, not PCA membership.

Yes, and the set I'm selling is local to him!

And it just so happens, I'm also selling an Eibach suspension as well...

Being as that I am new here I hadn't noticed yet that one could become a "Member"? Since the only other msg board I am on is my Land Rover msg boards, I didn't realize that I could pay for a membership here and have the ability to view more information as well as have access to other areas of the boards.

Thank you, jmla for reminding me about this. And I agree, if you can own a P-car, you can afford a M-ship. :-)

got the RoW M030. Love it, great look, drops the car appropriately without compromising ride, increases the turn in feel. Just good all around

I am very interested, please pm me the details of them and if they will fit my 2001 C4 cab. Thanks

I think if you're going to go out and spend money installing, and the concern is ride height, you might as well do the PSS9s, you should be able to find a deal on a set here or 6 speed. Incremental cost to the RoW M030 is probably going to be 500 to 700 bucks. Being able to adjust the height eliminates the risk of going so low that you rub if rear offset is maxed out.

I don't know why you're lowering exactly, but FWIW if it's a street car I think it's a waste of money, unless you are doing it yourself (you'll need a spring compressor for the PSS9s), at which point hey whatever.

It looks like you've got 19" wheels on a car designed for 18s, if so those wheels and tires are probably larger than the stock diameter. You may want to consider keeping the current suspension to avoid wheel arch damage from a bad pothole, which I've seen happen to a number of lowered cars with oversize wheels. Your car would probably be at risk, since the suspension geometry was designed for factory wheels up to an 18" diameter and this is your DD. My $.02.
