Can you use S2 coil springs on a 2.7 to reduce the height at the front by 10mm ish and stiffen the ride ? It sits slightly nose high and is a bit wallowy on the front too. Has sachs oil dampers on.

Or can you use a complete shock and spring assembly if one was available from the S2 ?
 
As far as I am aware S2 spings will not fit onto 2.7 struts as the springs are narrower. However you can fit the strut from an S2 to a 2.7 lux if you want.
 
Alan Locke (loc944) fitted lower springs to his 2.7 with very good results. The car looked and sat very well. I'm sure if you pm him he'll tell you what he used.
 
Just remember the brakes are different if you look at swapping the strut, and not sure about the wishbones either... I'd have thought given everything else is ok on your car just swapping the springs will be easiest.
 
Brakes don't change and neither do the wish bones. The strut attaches onto the hub. And brakes etc are attached to it not the strut.
 
Dave, as Colin said I fitted lowering springs to my 2.7. I used Designtec -30 springs from Design 911. I fitted them on new Sachs struts. They are great on the road and the car sits nice. I had the rear adjusted on the spring plates to level it up and sits great. I do feel they they are a little soft for track use though.

Alan.
 
ok thanks. was looking at those ones. Are you on oil or gas dampers ? Could you post a pic up Alan of your car as it sits ?
 
Thanks Alan for the photos of you car.

In another twist - Can you put Turbo springs onto lux struts instead ??
 
pre 88 turbo yes (I think) 88 and 89 had M030 which were narrower at the top 90 on had 968 style narrower dia springs
