I currently have my 964 Celebration running standard suspension with the original Cup 1's.
I am looking at fitting 18" rims (probably either Fuch or RH Split Rims) and presume I will need to lower the ride height slightly.
Are there any recommendations on which springs to get and also how much lower to make the car sit well without going to harsh on the ride?

You will be surprised by how much harsher the car will feel just by going to 18"s

I don't want to go much harder if possible just a shorter spring to get the ride height a bit lower

I would try it on the wheels first, before you buy shorter springs.MartinRS2K wrote:I'm more worried about the car sitting too high on 18" rims.sam wrote:You will be surprised by how much harsher the car will feel just by going to 18"s
