    20mm

    On the 997 FAQ the 20mm suspension was mentioned. Is that available in the US? I want to lower mine but afraid that it might void the warranty if something happens.

    Any suggestions?

    Also, check Sharkwerks in Fremont, they have H&R springs to lower your 997, several others on here had it done.. I drove another members 997 lowered, it was sweeeeet.. not 100% sure about the warranty issue, can't imagine it being voided because you lowered your car. Maybe if something in your undercarriage went out or got damaged, I suppose they could make a case for it..

    Have the hr springs installed at the dealer to insure that you do not void the warranty .

    1000 US Dollars , that sounds mega cheap . Hate to think what we would get charged over here for a retrofit on a 997 and bet it would be alot more . 1000 US Dollars , thats about Pounds560 GBP , very nice..

    The H&R springs lower it too much. I think it lowers it by 1.75. All I want is an inch.
