987 S Lowering thoughts

[Bob Z.]

Well the '08 987 S is a few weeks away and I thought I might have the dealer (Brumos Porsche, Jacksonville FL) lower it before I pick it up.

They gave me a choice of either H&R or Porsche Euro springs and the cost with a re-aligment, etc. will be about $1700-1800 - thoughts? Due to liability issues, I cannot buy the parts myself and bring them in.

Also, if it gets lowered about 1" front/back, should I get spacers and if so, what size? I do not need to have the tires extend right to the wheel well edge but I don't want them to look funny by sitting too far in. And I am not sure what they will charge for spacers, etc.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts...Bob Z.

PS - An installed clear bra will cost me $695 from them - thoughts?

I have the clear bra on mine....I think it has spared me a a lot of rock chips...There is one spot where the plastic was chipped at but the paint looks like its good underneath...plus its really easy to clean....

just my thoughts....

what color did you get?

Bob, I think you should drive the car a few months before you decide to do any mods.

Yeah, I thought about driving it a bit first but I only want it lowered for cosmetic reasons...looks better with less room above the tires. But I have owned lowered cars before and many had very firm/harsh rides so no concerns. I just thought that if I plan to do it I might as well get it done right away; however, the price they want seems a bit steep.

PS - The car is Guards Red/Black.
