My $15K Suspension Upgrade, Part 1: H&R front lowering springs + bump stops (Porsche Cayman S 987.2)

In this episode, I install the new H&R Sport Springs to lower the car (supposedly) over an inch. I also install new strut bump stops.

I just wanna say I appreciate the hell out of your videos

[@CliffsGarage]

Thank you, I really appreciate it. tbh, I've been a bit discouraged lately because I've been doing so much work on the car and not getting to actually drive it. This makes me feel better :)

[@Aeneas137]

yeah I'm going to think hard about what I want to do before changing the suspension. the car is already really damn low just because there's a gap at the Wheels doesn't mean it has to be filled and so I'm not sure I want it lowered I feel like I'm in a go-kart as it is going by other cars. and the thing about coilovers is why do you need adjustable ride height normally? at the track even you're not really going to need to change your ride height very often so I don't know I I get the adjustability is convenient but how often do you need to change it? I think the real advantage is being able to more easily swap the springs for different rates. because then you're not screwing with spring compressors and removing half of the suspension just to get the spring out etc.

Don’t waste your time with the lowering springs on track car. Just get some decent coilovers and when you finally do you will wish you did it sooner.

[@CliffsGarage]

Well, if you look back at my initial "plan" video you'll see that I was completely unable to buy coilovers. Out of stock everywhere.

[@TheEddysGarage]

@@CliffsGarage bummer, I got mine custom springs and valving from Silver’s in a few days.

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

was the front lowered or not? curious..

[@CliffsGarage]

Front only by 0.5" instead of the expect 1.4". The rear dropped by the expected 1.1" Currently working with H&R to figure out why. However, even the small drop was enough make a dramatic difference in the way the car looks!
