'02 996 C2 Suspension upgrade


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have a '02 996 C2 with the OEM 18 in. wheels & Michellin Pilot Sport 225/40ZR-18 f & 285/30zr-18 r Tires. I upgraded to H&R springs and Bilstein HD, that made my car more stable & w/. good lower stance. Also I ordered a front lip spoiler to provide more stability to my car with speed. I'm planing to participate in X and DE events, but at the same time I want a set up that I could drive on the street. Some questions came to me:

-Could I combine my H&R springs with the M030 stabilizer bars?

-What could happen if I use only in the back the M030 bar, in order to reduce understeer?

-Do you know, where I can purchase those bars?

-What type of alignment and tire pressure do you recommend for best handling?

Best regards,

JM :drive:

Jim,

the back bar alone would be fine... I upgraded to ROW 030 and the back sway bar is larger... the front from the ROW 030 is the same as stock... but my car is a 99 so you would have to measure... .

talk to Steven Russel @ Suncoast porsche and he can help you out with parts....
