Lower

Can't believe I'm asking this but here it goes. Nothing urgent but what is the way to lower a 987S that will leave the car closest to stock or OEM -- with minimal aftermarket parts?

I have read in a few places that stock 986 are lower in Europe than they are in the US (Is that true and why?). Is that valid for the 987, as well?

I have a feeling that a stock 987S could use a little lowering. Perhaps not more than an inch. I personally don't think that lower is always better and I'm not a fan of the "slammed" look where the arches of the wheel and the well are way off being parallel. I also like the stiffness of the stock S suspension as a nice compromise between everyday comfort and performance, so wouldn't be looking to increase stiffness by much.

Z.
