  • I bought some lowering springs from H&R, and decided to make a video to show how its done. It was actually quite easy! Id say 4/10, for how hard it is.
    If your interested check out my previous videos, I rebuild this car from a really hard side impact!
    Guys thanks so much for continuing to support the builds and the Channel itself.

    Great DIY! ...but dude, STOP hitting the camera with your hand, that part is just annoying.

    Good video. I have done this job on several Audis and VW's and you shouldn't have to remove so many control arms. The way you did it is fine, but would definitely require a full alignment afterwards. That may be why your rear wheel well was so wonky after the upgrade.

    Did you torque down the axle nut?

    What MM lowering springs are these?

      No clue! I just bought them off eBay, it’s specific to this car, they don’t make different sizes

    Good video! I'll be following this when I get mine 😁 are you enjoying the car so far? I've been hunting for an S but think I'll probably end up going with a clean well optioned base model.

    • @sidehustlegarage4399
      @sidehustlegarage4399  3 года назад +1

      Get the GTS if you can.. base is a good car, however it is slow. But if your not in a hurry to get from point a to b, then the base is perfect.. I haven’t driven the car a lot, I’ve been storing it for the winter. I’ll be doing a review on it later!

      @@sidehustlegarage4399 oh man I'd love a GTS but I'd probably have to part with my E92 M3 to afford one 😭 lol. I've heard the same thing regarding the base being a bit slow and I'm at a pretty high elevation on top of that. Excited to see the review, thanks bud!

    Great video! How did you get the lower control arm/camber bolt out? I had gotten the nut off but the bolt appears to be under a good amount of load, and I don't recall there being much space to tap it out with a hammer (on the passenger side/right side of the car when at the rear).

    • @sidehustlegarage4399
      @sidehustlegarage4399  3 года назад

      I think I had to tap it out, carful with the tip to not bend the threads. You can also put a flat head screw driver in the split while you turn it with an impact?

    How was the ride quality?

    Whats the best way to torque more than 340lbs for the axel nut?

    • @sidehustlegarage4399
      @sidehustlegarage4399  2 года назад

      Put the wheel on, drop the car and tighten the bolt with a big bar

    Why do you keep hitting the camera a whole lot?

  • @FMeng
    @FMeng 3 года назад

    Always wanted to do this to my 981, but the ground clearance seems too low for my local automated carwash.

  • @pcarobsessed9778
    @pcarobsessed9778 2 года назад

    You got torque spec for all the bolts and nuts? Especially axel nut?

    Put a lowering spring in my 981 and getting an initial thunk noise when doing tight turns out of the garage and just upon the first drive out during the day tuning the wheel. It goes away after this initial spring bind. Can you offer any advice on how this could be happening? Any thoughts are appreciated. btw. Had a shop do the work, so not sure what's up but starting to drive me crazy! thanks.

    • @sidehustlegarage4399

      Sounds like something is loose. If u had a shop do it then go back and ask them to take a look.

  • @marko5936

    Hey man, looking forward to do the same thing to my 981. How is the space with the 19" wheels? Do they rub anywhere? I'm from switzerland so they are quite strict here

    • @sidehustlegarage4399
      @sidehustlegarage4399  Год назад

      The way I had it, they rubbed on one wheel only, Porsche 981 have a starter problem with the rear ends, one side sticks out more than the other.

  • @713happy187
    @713happy187 2 года назад

    Do you have Wheel spacers? If so what sizes? Looks great

    • @sidehustlegarage4399
      @sidehustlegarage4399  2 года назад

      Yes, 12mm I’m back and 7 in front, u can do 15 for back but then ur gonna rub.. 12 was perfect

    • @NawafSharif
      @NawafSharif Год назад

      Hi, can you do 10 in the front ? Or it will rub ?

  • @jamesmccray6488

    That cliche hand slap to the lens thingy you do every few seconds is annoying beyond words. Stop doing that!
