Lowered 996s in Here
#166
Thanks. Like Mlee I also have the Street Performance coil-overs. Im not sure of the exact ride height but it is quite low. Though I haven't had any problems with clearance. The streets here in Los Angeles are dreadful, and the ride can be rough with the tire setup. I think I will be going with 30 or 35 sidewalls on the next set of tires, and will raise the ride height slightly to accommodate. I purchased the car a few months back with the current setup, which included new tires so I'll deal with the ride quality for now.

Pic in my signature is from when I bought the car, H&R springs and stock shocks. Loved the look, but as a DC daily driver it was just too low and harsh - the latter partly attributable to the front shocks being knackered.
Swapped the whole lot for a Euro M030 setup and am delighted with the result. Still preferred the lower look on the H&Rs though.
Vdubjetta02 - might I respectfully suggest you consider some wheel spacers? To compensate for the offset difference with the Carrera III rims I added 7mm at the back 15mm at the front - after the sig pic was taken - and vastly prefer the look.

Am I the only person in this forum that likes stock ride height?
Nothing against ones who prefer lowering but I somehow preferred stock.
