Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

I am in the process of buying a 1997 Turbo S and installing PSS9 struts.

Question - What is the correct factory ride height?

Facts - The Porsche manual states that the ROW ride height for the S is the same as the regular Turbo. However the articles and reviews from that period mention that the car was 15mm lower than the Turbo.

Thanks

I honestly dont know - but when you have bought it, lend it to me for a few months (maybe 12) and i will do some user set up testing for you?????

no good lending it to Clive, what you need for a good test is to lend it to a short fat bloke for a year. that'll be me then.

acording to my data the ROW ride heights for the turbo and S are the same , 144m/m front and 127m/m rear , both being 30m/m less than the USA settings . these are both taken at DIN 70020 curb weights , and of course are ajustable , which is where the the articles may be discussing a lower height ? I cannot see why the should be lower on the S .

Does it have RS suspension? It's an option that some were fitted with, and I think that will lower the car.
