hi everyone
sorry been off the forum for a while fixing the 993.
back at the e9 now as weather improves! Just replaced the front shocks - wish i did them a long time ago.
now the car looks like its on stilts... so looking at the H&R e12 front lowering springs folks have referenced - could someone confirm the part number is 29533-1?
seems to be very hard to find or i have the wrong part #
thanks in advance!
 
Have you removed the US only aluminum spacers between the top of the strut and the body?
 
i would recommend that you talk to Paul Baker - check the FAQ - Top Sources (Suspension - in the 2nd post in this thread)

What are the TOP SOURCES for PARTS and SERVICE?

We tend to repeat information within threads, so perhaps it would be a good idea to keep a running list of where to find things. I will be adding more things to this, and editing / adding based on comments. Restoration Coupeking (USA) - www.coupeking.com The Werk Shop (USA) -...

Thanks all. when i removed the strut there was no aluminum spacer?
i’ll check out paul baker and carl nelson
 
my understanding is the Carl Nelson springs are standard coils and the Paul Baker springs are progressive coils

That is correct. I have Carl Nelson springs in my car, and a set of Paul Baker springs waiting to go in.

i understand from talking to @HB Chris a while back ... is its quite good. i am pretty sure that is what he put on his chamonix.

another thing worth considering is the coilover setup that Mario is the US distributor for - RAAB classic. Mario says its the best on a coupe - period. i believe @Stan has them on the GR8WHITE
 
progressive springs have a varied approach - they are a little softer on initial bumps / turn, and tighten up as you go further into the turn (aggressive when you need it). most modern suspensions use progressive springs.
 
I have B&G springs with oil filled Konis in the front and Koni gas shocks on the rear Dropped the car about 1.3 inches the ride, to me, is firm but nice
