Suspension question 2000 996 C2 Cab

[phillipj]

The previous owner installed H & R sport springs on my car. From looking at the suspension it appears that the stock dampners are still in place. The car handles poorly. :( Does anyone have these springs? If so what would be a good dampner to mate with them? The car has HRE replica 19 in wheels.

H & R says that these springs lower the car 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Attached is a pic that shows how low the car is. :o

Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.

Thanks!! :D

what up

i got an 02 cab c2 and i have the h & r springs on with stock dampeners but running 18s not 19s. let me tell you this much, w/o these lowering springs you would NOT be able to press 120+ due to air running underneath the front-end and causing lift. i know cuz it was my problem prior to install and after it fixed that as well as lower center of gravity which allowed me to run into a turn much faster! only downside is the springs are weak and not full suspension setup and due to a shorter spring i bottom out quite a bit. i dont know what kind of driver u are but if u like me with hard street use and some track go for JRZ for racey setup or billstien for the aggressive street setup. i would recommend some kind of 2 way adjustables. btw, your cab with the gt2 front-end looks dope! think i may do that after seeing yours.

my best

Tecra,

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at the Bilstein website and I saw the gas shocks for lowered cars. I can't afford the coilovers. You know anything about the Bilstien gas shocks? Would they be compatible with the H & R springs?

Thanks!

Although the GT2 bumper looks good it is a piece of crap. It doesn't funnel air to the radiators well and the tow hook hole doesn't match up. :angry: The previous owner installed the bumper. If you get one make sure you spend the extra cash and get a good one. NR Automotive has one. They have quality products. Here is the link http://www.nrauto.com/sub_index.asp?makeid...p;spage=Bodykit
