If you lower the car the suspension will have to be firmer or else the car will bottom out all the time. Even between the turbo and NA there is a difference.. the 850 turbo accommendates the larger 16 wheels and gives the stiffer ride. I dont mind this because the wheels fill the wheel well and I think it looks better
I remember when I had a VW... I cut the springs myself and the car handled totally different...corner great.. Looked great but very stiff... I was advised against doing it myself but I never had a problem and I bet that car is still on the road today.
