"Sometimes" car manufacturers are forced to actually make their cars less than optimum just to comply with U.S. safety standards. I know for a fact that most of the earlier air-cooled U.S.-Porsches were actually higher in height than the ROWs just to meet bumper ht requirements.

My '83 SC Cab was lowered to ROW specs and it handled beautifully.

I know this thread is about suspension so don't get me started with emissions and CARB crap.

Love the way she handles as it is right now specially in Sports mode but dropping it would give it a nice aggressive stance. I'll sleep on it for a while.




very nice car
