Hi All
After 3 years of Porsche ownership I finally joined PCGB! My previous car was a 993 Tip, and I traded it for a 1998 996 C2 Tip in February. The car is fitted with M030 sports suspension, which gives quite a harsh ride, especially on the cr*p roads we have in East Berks/South Bucks. I am considering fitting standard shockers, but retaining the M030 springs. I have measured a standard front strut, and the spring platforms are at the same height as the M030 strut. Therefore the ride height must be determined by the spring length and I want to keep the ride height the same.
Has anyone tried this combination? The car is my everyday drive, and although I drive it fairly quick whenever I get the opportunity, I realise that I am going to substitute comfort for handling. I also realise that it is going to be a compromise, but I would hate to go through the pain of parting with around £600 to find that it didn't make much difference!
