99 996 suspension

[butch199]

I have 99 996 C2 cab with tiptronic. The origanl owner put on Eibach springs. I am considering going back to stock springs to soften ride for daily driver. Also even though lowered car looks and handles great car sets too low for speed bumps driveways, etc. My question is will stock springs and shocks fro a 2000 C2 coupe with manual trans work in my car?

Thanks in advance, this is a great forum

They might work but Porsche uses different spring rates and shock stiffness for coupes and cabs. As well the Tip and 6 speed matter also. It is all a case of weight and balance - Porsche's running are "tuned" to the cars options/weight/balance. Stock springs will raise the car up some and soften the ride some at the expense of some handling.
