Gotcha.

When ordering the coilovers, you can order them with certain spring rates. May have to do a little research into finding the standard spring rates and getting something close to them.

I'm popping into a friends 986S soon with the coilovers I'm looking to buy, so I'll let you know how I get on.

Spring rates are everything, even down to how the spring is wound (linear or progressive) will affect the ride.
Also if you go with a harder spring you can lower the car more but then you run the risk of not having enough shock travel to dampen it.

Lots to look at.
