Replacing all the tired suspension components and bushings, plus an alignment, it will feel like a different car I guarantee. Great work as ever.

Just a hint! NEVER use a impact gun for installing TopMounts on coilovers! You might can damage the pistonbanding in the damper...

I did Öhlins Road and Track coil overs on my 996 C4 and, man, I hope to never have to do that again, it was NOT fun. That said, they did make a difference in the handling and it lowered the car a bit, so worth it! Great work, you’re gonna love driving that car.

Always enjoys your videos on this project. I like how they are short, and right to the point, with no wasted space. I didn’t need to skip forward at all. I have been on the fence when it comes to replacing the shocks on my Porsche with coilovers. I drove a friend’s car and it was so bouncy, I said this is not for me, I drive my car on the streets daily, and travel for work long distances, I’m staying with my stock Cayman R shocks. When you went for the drive, what settings were you on? I am going to assume the softest setting. How did it feel going over bumps and potholes? Was it harsh or bouncy compared to stock? Please answer honestly even if KW gave you those for free to rave about them. Thanks

This is not bouncy at all!! My E36 is. Huge difference. This KWs are amazing. An no, they weren’t free.

Good job. You will love the KW’s I did that to my cayman. Like you I did it by myself. It’s a pain..

What was you final fender to ground or wheel clearance set at? My C4S on H&R springs and it fails driveway test. Its sits at just under 24" fender to ground with std 18" wheels. H&R springs lower more than advertised - too much IMO for safe use on USA roads.

You need the b8s that are designed for lowering springs. The stock b4s and b6s are for stock spring height. In addition to that you should add a dsc controller.

Nice work. Highly recommend finding a shop that knows something about alignments (not the common tire shops). Look for a reputable shop that deals with setting up custom alignments (race cars and such). They will get it set up right and using those coil overs to their max potential by “corner balancing” as well as the caster, camber, toe adjustments.
