P-Kay Posted 22October, 2021 Report Share Posted 22October, 2021 Consider shocks, (are you just chasing the look - or perhaps some extra corner carving) Depending on the intended use of the car, will determine the amount of lowering you 'need' and whether the extra spend is required. I'd be tempted to also change out the strut tops and look closely at the lower control arms. otherwise - enjoy tomo, Mondo74 and Raven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknostar Posted 23October, 2021 Report Share Posted 23October, 2021 I reckon they are low enough from factory - if it was me i would be only replacing suspension if there was an issue with existing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def enjoy spirited driving,hoping shocks are still good. If not will be regretting not going directly to coil overs lol. P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is that coil overs are overkill for the road, but horses for courses I am also of the opinion that you will not regret swapping out the springs.

Simonk Posted 28October, 2021 Report Share Posted 28October, 2021 Eibach Pro Kit are a nice spring that mates well with the standard shocks. I’ve had them on my 996 and 997 and a mate has them on his 997.2 and loves them. Mondo74, K911 and tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911CSR Posted 15November, 2021 Report Share Posted 15November, 2021 Where depends on so many things: East Coast Suspension is highly recommended Autohaus Hamilton knows porsches extremely well and if you need extra parts is likely to have them on hand Autowerks on the Central Coast is my new place to go, they are close to me sure, but man they know their stuff.

Hey Total newbie here but have just bought a 2009 997.2 and am thinking about trying to make it look a little more aggressive e.g. new bumper, lower it, skirts etc. I've had this Moshammer kit mentioned to me - do you know where this one was installed / good places where it could be?
