Lift kit for a Porsche 996 (modified)

[Rik Blythe]

Hi
Does anyone know if I can get a lift kit for my 02 996. I can’t get it on my drive without a faff

Hi
I’m not sure if you’d call this a kit car or not. It started life as a 02 911 996 Porsche. Commonly considered the ugliest Porsche ever made. The kit is a 2016 GT3rs. In my opinion one of the prettiest!!! It’s not anything like exact but close enough for me. The Porsche people hate it but i think it looks cool and i could never afford the real deal.
Anyway, my issue is its really low and i struggle getting it on and off the drive or over a speed hump without scratching the front. I found a company that make a lift kit but only for the newer 997.

I’d really like to add a lift kit to the car but can’t find one. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Any advice would be very welcome.

Cargraphic, KW and Techart are 3 names that come to mind for kits. Not cheap though.

There is a company called Still Static who have a license from an American company who can retrofit lift functionality to just about any coilover suspension set up. They are a small outfit but very enthusiastic and helpful; I used them for my RS6 and Performante.

Are you wanting permanent lift or an air bag style adjustable ride height just for obstacles?

Personally I love the 996, my favourite of the water-cooled. But I like an underdog! I think it’s the wider red reflector on the C4S that I like.

Anyway, can you not just fit coilovers and set them slightly higher? Plenty to go at, I nearly bought a 996 last year so was researching them.

Or as above, you can bag anything really.
