I also have the tip M030 kit on my manual S. Its a 'normal' kit for me but ROW for you guys. My front was lowered by a mere 6mm and the rear was actually raised by 5mm. Original suspension had done 70k miles but was rig tested and still good.

100's of time throughout my Porsche life, my customer cars went out riding higher than they did when they came in (after a spring change) LOL. Nobody considers that worn ass stock spring.

The assumption is: "They last forever".. umm... NO

so are you saying the spring rate slowly drops and this causes a similar drop in ride height?
and Brad- at -.5" rear ride height should my specs be this far off??? Are Taret arms a bandaid or a justifiable and expected cure? Are the offset bushings you make a .002" pressfit and have any ever split the cast arm after they're in use?
