Lowering 997
- Thread starter Kcredfan
- Start date
This is a photo of my old 4s on Eibach Pro's with 7mm / 15mm spacers, which dropped the car by 15mm ish all round. The spaces were perfect for what i was looking for but the for me the rear was still a little to high so this time i will opt for other springs to get the back lower

7mm on the front 12mm on the rear "less is more" a mate has 15 on the back too much for me, too wide and they look crap IMO :judge:
Roocat, so much depends on what you want personally and things like what tyres your running, as tyres like MPSS have a very small rim protector which would allow you to go wider and keep the ethsetics whereas MPS2 have a much bigger rim protector. It also depends on the wheels you have as even Porsche alloys differ in width. So to answer your question we need a bit more info mate.
re buying spacers Porscheshop sell nice ones and have them with spiggots down to 3mm which is very hard to find elsewhere , as most sell under 7mm as just shims even though they call them hubcentric.
I have also used TPI for wider spacers that are hubcentric.
Remember some are worried they will get gravel rash so opt for a narrower spacer others dont care and want the widest possible that wont rub the arch, other will even go as far as rolling the arch to get wider spacers.
Having said all that waffle :grin: :grin: It seems the genrally accepted optimum is 7mm front and 15mm rear on a C2S.
Good luck with the lowering you will I am sure be happy with the techarts. :thumb:
