Default Coilovers for 997.1 c2

can anyone provide information on a coilover system for a 997.1 c2 that allows +/- 1" adjustment?

I have H&R springs on my car for 1" drop - H&R's allow the PASM to be used

Can you raise it 1" as well?

Clarification, Are you suggesting that other lowering springs (such as Eibach) affect PASM operation?

Are you looking to potentially raise the car 1” over stock? You should probably consider a 4x4 truck instead of a 911

I already have a Defender, a G500, a LR3 and a 4x4 sprinter so I don't need another 4x4.

soo why on earth would you want a 911 1” higher than stock (which is already WAY too high)?

Maybe 1/2" is all I need, I don't know exactly how much I need. I want to be able to drive on gravel roads without bottoming out. I would also like to use larger than stock tires. It looks like the largest tire I can use with the stock height is around 25.5"

I want to be able to use the 911 and right now it bottoms out constantly when I take it out. I have to drive 5 mph the whole way off of the property.

I have a feeling that this question may make some people angry but what about putting a thin (1/2") urethane spacer between the springs and the support ring? If I have something cnc machined to fit exactly, does anyone see a reason why this would not work? I gave the G500 a 40mm lift this way and it has worked out perfect.

Better application would be inserting the spacer between the strut mount and chassis, where the camber adjustment is conducted

Won’t bother the strut travel, spring load, or general integrity. I’ve seen similar products for VW tiguans, to get a slight raise without changing components

Ok now this sounds interesting. Would this work on the front and rear?

So I could machine some aluminum spacers that fit between the top of the strut and the body. Where can I get the geometry for the hole sizes locations?

you might as well buy yourself all new front and rear strut mounts as you will also need to extend the three studs to accommodate your spacers.
