H&R Suspension

Since the ACS 'Club Sport' 996 was scheduled to hit the track just days after taking delivery we pretty much had to "run what you brung". Fortunately we were able to "bring" the H&R Adjustable Coil Over suspension that the previous owner had so kindly installed for us! But we wouldn't track a car without giving it a good going over so up on the lift it went.

What we discovered was an H&R suspension with springs rates somewhere between mild and wild. A quick run over the setup scales in our shop showed reasonable corner weights and nothing that would prevent us from getting used to the new car's manners on track.

As a dealer for H&R we (ACS) had no problem justifying the use of this H&R suspension for the first track outing. In fact we decided it would be a good idea to evaluate this "street/track" suspension and compare it to the stock 996s we've driven and then again with the more agressive Club Sport or competition suspensions we've got planned for the car down the road.

The previous owner had lowered the car a bit more than we'd like to see on a dual purpose car. But again, for this first outing we were in expiremental mode... So the setup stayed as it was.
