Geometry settings when lowered

[Gordon Fogarty]

I am considering lowering my 996 C2.
If I do this do i need to have the geometry reset?,
If reset required do you reset to values for std ride height as I presume there would be a camber change with a lower height?

Thanks for your experience.

You will need to have the geometry set anyway, as you have to remove most of the suspension to change the springs, the length of which controls the ride height. Depends on how much you are lowering it. If 10mm, I would use the M030 settings, and if more then the X73/74 settings. If you need the setting values, drop me an email.

Thanks Richard.

I found geometry setup data online but dont know of correct. Please can you email to me.

That's considerable. Factory settings will be useless - you'll need someone who knows what they're doing.

Porsche were daring back then! These days that sort of change would be reserved for the supermarket car park fraternity!
