Why? So you can scrape more bump stops? I've lowered my Audi and GTI in the past, and while those looked like SUVs and looked way better lowered, they never had a better ride or handling. Don't really know why someone wanna do that on a PASM Porsche.

Eibach allows me to drive the car in the winter without becoming a snowplow. The ride is firm and way better than stock springs.

Finally, the lower the car, the higher the chances of stone chips.

Getting rid of stock springs and lowering the car is one of the best upgrades in terms of ROI.

Gorgeous car! Are you running 305/30 rears and 235/35 fronts?

Recently lowered on Eibach with 7/15 H&R spacers. Perfectly satisfied. Wasn't interested in slammed look. Ride is firm but not obnoxious. Here's my 2010 C2 Base:
