My indy said I'ld be wasting my money putting coilovers in a cab because the car is not as stiff as a coupe so the benefit would be minimal to none. Any opinions on this?

What suspension do you currently have on your Turbo?

Dranon

Stock what it came with from factory

996AE

Dont have to be a coupe racer guy to want coilovers.

1. coilovers allow for adjustable ride height to improve look and handling
2. ride adjustability if nice on PSS10s

Do it

Find a new indy.

I think an aftermarket suspension is worth it if for nothing else just to lower the car's U.S. ride height. If you had already lowered the car with a non-coilover after market suspension, I would have opined that you wouldn't need coilovers. If your objective is first to lower the car, and second to improve handling, then I personally wouldn't go with coilovers.

Yeah, you need a new Indy. I went with FVD Euro PSS9's back in the day and it transforms the handling of the car. As Dock indicates, you can go a bit lower, but seriously the ride is noticeable better. The Euro PSS9's did come with stiffer springs to compensate for the weight of the cab.

PSS10 for me in Turbo S Cab, car is slightly lowered and suspension feels great.

Dranon

Ok so WHY do we want our cars lowered? Is it just looks? I get it on the track I'm talking about day to day street drving.

s65e90

Day to day, yes mostly aesthetics. It just looks better.

Dock

For me it was about looks first and handling second.

Don't forget that if it had been up to Porsche, U.S. 996 Turbos would be at RoW ride height.

The lowest ride height Porsche offered for the 996 Turbo was the X73 suspension.

I'm worried about scraping that front spoiler! Had to buy one already!

Dock

If you lower you car, you should be concerned.

If you are always aware of speed bumps and grade changes and take them at an appropriate angle (or avoid them if you don't think the approach angle will prevent scraping the front lip), then you can maximize the life of your front lip.

The only downside for me is not being able to get into certain driveways and parking lots without scraping the lip. Theyre cheap though.
