Hi all :bye:
So - time for my first (proper) post now that i've got the car back from having the roof repaired. For those who won't have read my newbie post - i've recently acquired my first 911 (after several happy years of Boxster ownership) so i decided to take a brave pill and buy a bottom money 996 C2 manual convertible as a bit of a 'project' to gradually improve and get back to tip top condition.
First bit of good news - the (previously inoperable) roof has been fixed by my local specialist (massive thank you to Lee Colbran at Octane Garage) - so now i'm turning my attention to something else...
Having looked at several other cars on here I just can't resist the urge to reduce the ride height a tad. I've used Eibach sport springs on previous vehicles and haven't got a bad word to say about them in terms of the ride/handling results. I'm consequently keen to use them again - but every stockist I come across only lists Eibach springs as being compatible with the Coupe & Targa???
I just assumed that the part(s) would be the same for Convertible???
I haven't been able to find any definitive answers over this on previous threads - someone else with a C2 convertible must have been through this before???
I'm hoping that the Eibach springs will be compatible regardless of how they are listed - am I just kidding myself here???!!!
