Are there any people that have lowered their 912.

I know you can do a few mm by raising the spindle on the strut.

Maybe some shorter shocks/strutts.

But are there any REAL LOW 912/911 around? if so, how are they lowered?
What is the maximum you can lower?

thanks for the info (mine is waiting to be lowered)

You lower the car by reindexing the front and rear torsion bars. However, you will need to make other suspension mods to control bump steer (most likely raised spindles, you will need modified shocks, etc.). when done, your will need to corner balance and align the whole thing.

A race shop that sets up 911 will know exactly what to do.

That's a good question. Smile Reply rather than an image:
