I will probably eventually go lower, but I need to build the engine and get it in the car first so I can see what rake the chassis will sit at with the car at full curb weight. I want to keep it as level as possible.
The only geometrical difference I can see is the steering arms on the spindles are straight on a Porsche (for the most part), and are curved up, and inward slightly on a 1302. Not sure of the differences between Porsche, and 1303 spindles.
I don't think that I can lower the center steering arm either because the frame head is in the way.
Oh well... we shall see how it drives as-is.

I have a early '03, which means mine shares the same suspension as your '02. I tried the 944 springs that came with the brakes and manz... Too stiff! My friend gave me some lower springs and while the car looks ok, there is still some bump-steer as the steering tie-rods are not exactly parallel. Since the Porsche spindles allow the tie-rod ends to mount upside-down, I didn't bother to convert it... Hehe, that means I can go even lower in future!
