hyper1:
bingo that is exactly what i was thinking, how can hr be softer then stock, and shorter, but what do i know i am just an engineer :) so are the hr springs actually shorter then sotck, or is this a anoter rumor!

Enclosed is a picture from an old Panorama article that shows the springs from different versions of the 996. My thinking is that lowering springs, if they are stiffer than stock, then they have to be shorter un-loaded. OTOH, if they are softer than stock, than they may or may not be shorter un-loaded.

Didn't mean to say which spring is better as far as GMG, H&R, or Techart, if I *have* to pick one, I might just go with GMG; just wanted to point out that the rumor of H&R might not be true, especially if it comes from a direct competitor.

Regarding Techart spring, "eclou" has this before switching to the Bilstein. You might want to check with him for his opinions.
