Recommended Porsche / Suspension Shop to Lower My 996

Fellow 6speeders,

Thank you in advance.

I'm sure the main shops talked about here will be fine, BBI/GMG.

My cars last two years of service history is from Jax Auto in Brea. They arent a Porsche specialty but I guess have done ok.

Let me know where you end up going, we might be able to swing a small labor discount as I'll need a steering wheel/shift **** install maybe soon too.

Stuttgart Performance or GMG both do nice work. GMG is in Santa Ana and Stuttgart is in Costa Mesa. Both have nice shops. There are a ton of capable shops in SoCal so I'm sure you won't have trouble finding one.

You could do it yourself. It is very easy and you get to know the suspension system. I just completed the RoW M030 (shocks, springs and sway bars) upgrade and rotors and pads all around. It took a weekend but very satisfying upon completion. I even enlisted my wife for the brake bleeding. Over on Rennlist, there are DIY's for just about everything. If you are going to coil overs, it is easier.

I decided to just do springs because of how rare I use my car it will take years for the stocks to need replacement. I just want it to look good for now...

So yeah, springs is harder to install than coilovers. I don't think I can do this myself.

Do you have an online manual on how to do this? Maybe I can I just don't have any resource on how to do it. Thank you.
