couldn't find any decent pics of before and after shots of a lowered 997 C2 on eibachs. so thought i'd share...overall the eibach's lowered the car about 1". no difference in ride quality felt.

 

pics of the fender gap...

 

What part of NorCal or you? Would love to see the car..how much for the kit?

I have PASM so I don't know if that matters, but I would like to lower my car an inch to complete my ride look.

Thanks

 

that looks like the perfect drop imo while keeping daily driving and crappy roads in mind.

 

nice C4! i purchased mine for $306.82 from: http://www.sparktecmotorsports.com/eib-7222-140.html

you might want to double check the eibach part no at:

i believe the eibach pro kit for your C4 will lower the car by .8" all around. not quite an inch. also, you'll need to find someone to do the install.

 

thanks! i couldn't agree with you more.

 

I think it should be noted whether or not your car has PASM.

My car has PASM and looks lower than yours but could be because I have H&R springs or because cars with PASM start out 20mm lower than non-PASM cars. Please elaborate. I am curious if Eibach doesn't lower as much or if PASM really makes a differnce..?

Love the lowered look but can't comprehend how you don't drag your bumpers off in the corkscrews coming down the mountains.

Are you driving mostly track & freeway? I seem to be forever scraping my chin coming down the mountain switchbacks in Marin, and I'm running stock ride height on my 997.1 C2S cab.

I've come to just expect to hear the front bumper cover dig-in on my way back down the Mount Tam heading in to Mill Valley, and even more so if I'm carrying any speed down the hill on Bolinas / Fairfax road, wouldn't another inch put my bumper right on the floor?

I do have PASM, here's my stock height:



Any thoughts?

 

That looks great! Looks like the perfect drop

 

h&r springs drop the car an extra 0.5" over eibach.

 

A question buggin me is, US cars sit higher, due to laws, than row cars. Arent the eibachs and h&rs equivalent to row springs? If thats the case anybody try row springs instead?

 

No PASM.

 

What kind and wheel size are you rocking? 19's or 20's? Where did you buy your spring kit? Looks great.

 

Thanks! I'm unsure of brand of wheels as they came with the car when I bought them from the dealer. They're 20 x 9 and 20 x 10. purchased the spring kit here: http://www.sparktecmotorsports.com/e...e-springs.html

 

Can you please re-measure from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the fender. It looks to me like you are measuring from ground to bottom of fender.

This will give more exact measurements since tire inflation is removed from the equation.

Please post results.
