Default Find a shop that does corner balancing....

Usually porsche shops have the proper machines to do the allighment. Have them do the install. You will pay alot more for the install than some reg. shop but it will be done right. Dont go below an inch drop. The ride gets alot worse on the h and r COs if you go too low. 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch is perfect. Also because you have the h sport sways if you go too low you will make less use of the sway bars. Dont forget you get what you pay for . Dont cut corners. Let a real pro do the work. H and r CO's are great coilovers if the work is done properly.

Default If you plan to DIY, you can drop me an email. I did mine...

more than once (because I kept screwing little things up). But its all solid now, and it's not that bad an install - if you know a few tricks.

Oh, and I had zero prior experience, only standard tools (borrowed a spring compressor from Advanced to get the factory front struts apart).
