Default Upgrading suspension using OEM parts?

Does anyone have a list of suspension components that have an adjustable counterpart available from Porsche? I am looking at being able to correctly lower my car, but most adjustable arms replace rubber bushings with
heim joints and mono *****. I am daily driving the car on the street and would like to maintain rubber joints (even if harder material than stock) where possible.


Anyone ever been through this exercise?

I think your best bet is to use a combination of oem parts, like GT3 control arms, and high quality aftermarket parts from rennline, tarrett, ERP, RSS, etc to get you were you need to be.

In some spots, monoballs don't have much of an impact on NVH.

997 GTS-4 had a sport suspension option (w PASM). That would be all OEM parts and would be an upgrade.
There are some threads with some part numbers in this sub-forum. I was going to go that route but ended up with Bilstein B8 etc.
