I'm pretty sure he was asking about suspension suggestions.




Here's what I did. Koni shocks and Tein S-Tech springs. The first three photos are before, the last two are after the install.


Here are a few more pics..posts 1 and 2.

Call me stupid. But, I look at a lot of pictures of 8's on here and I sware to you I cannot tell the difference from those pictures which one is dropped and which one isn't. Maybe after they settle and in real life I am sure it is very different.

you aren't looking enough. go look for some s-tech drop pics versus stock. huge difference. for those drops that are more than one inch, there should be a difference right after install.

Just look at the wheel gap. The difference between the two is pretty obvious.

After
