Dropping the land rover on some 22's? LOL just kidding, these going to make any difference in height versus your previous setup?

The height adjustment collar is 100% independent from the spring perch. I can drop it as little or as much as I want. Yes, I will lower it a good bit. Probably about 1.25" all the way around.

yeah back on topic i have only heard one bad thing about these from a N.A.S.A h1 driver in cali.. he blamed his coilovers for a 1.5 second increase in his times at buttonwillow..but too many other variables are there to make a sound decision that it was the coilovers

Perhaps he didn't tune them for shit? That plays a large part. They were used by the winning car in the European Magazine Porsche Tuner shootout 2 yrs ago.

Then again, they are they Cross Competition Suspension. What version were you talking about?

You aren't rude...anything for my car is going to be pricey. It's a 6-figure car, so they jack up everything on you. It costs ~$2200 to chip it while it only runs $500 for the Audi/VW. Go figure.

A fair chunk of change. I'd rather not discuss cost + install, but you can go to the JIC site and get a good idea on cost. Cross Competition Suspension for a 996 turbo. Install is about 2hrs labor per wheel + alignment + corner balancing.

Money brings out the worst in people at times, especially on this site.

:bowdown: man I envy you, I was thinking about going with tein coilovers myself.. its just hard to justify the $2000 price tag. This may be a dumb question but are you expecting a HUGE difference? I know you wouldn't be getting them if you didnt feel it was worth it but I just have to know. I like the idea of being able to adjust the height as well if need be. Nice ride!

I can adjust the height and rebound. The rebound is 15-way adjustable. The height will require more work as I have to get it re-aligned and whatnot. Yes, I am expecting a rather large difference. Granted, the 911 turbo has a suspension that is greater than 99% of the cars on the road, but it is STILL somewhat tame so as to appeal to an "older" crowd of sorts. It sits up too high for my needs and while it may actually "ride on rails", I want it to ride even more so. Plus, I will be able to dial in an 8 in the rear setting and a 5 in the front so that I can correct the understear and push it to more of a neutral stance.

you'll also be able to play with the preload/sag which can also be used to get rid of the understeer once it's all getting dialed in.
