Also, in looking at the Bentley, it appears removing the struts are not just 3 bolts on top and 2 at the bottom. Looks kind of complicated. Threads I've looked at don't give much detail and I didn't see anything on Pedro's web page. How tough would this job be? I don't have a spring compressor or a ball joint thing-a-ma-jig. Sorry for such a newbie question, but I have 0 experience in this area and I want to know what's involved. There are lots of Caymans out there, so need to determine if I should pass on this one. Thanks.

Assuming that all the owner did was install after-market lowering springs, then the problem can easily be rectified by simply reinstalling the oem springs. This, however, is not a simple job. And it should only be performed by a knowledgeable person . Also, the vehicle will have to be realigned as well . On the chance that adjustable coilovers were installed, then the ride height can easily be changed via the adjustable perch. Again, you want a knowledgeable person to make this adjustment also.
