    What Springs would you choose?

    Can those of you whom have installed springs give us some feedback?

    Re: What Springs would you choose?

    One question-why you did not include factory option -20mm/LSD? It is available in Europe as the option for both 997 and 997S coupes. Yes, this option is still not available in USA but, IMO it is the best possible suspension for 997/997S coupe. I ordered my 997S with -20mm/LSD and many members here(from Europe) have it on their cars(Fanch,bluelines, etc.)
    Just my opinion...

    Good point Branimir..

    If I had my time again I would have bought -20mm LSD.

    I mean that if you didn't get the -20mm option while receiving your car and would still like to lower it... + you can't order it on the Tequipment... It is a factory option..

    Re: What Springs would you choose?

    I chose to lower mine (997C2 no PASM) using springs. If the -20mm was avail here I would've gone for that.

    The H&R's give the car some rake compared to the Eibachs IMO, which can or cannot be more desireable depending on how you want your car to sit.

    I have H&R's. Its pretty low. The Rubber bits at the back of the front wheel wheels bottoms out over bumps. It doesnt hurt anything but it is annoying.

    Great car. The partial shot of the wing looks great. What type is it; Techart? Any more photos?
    Lastly, how much lower does your car sit than stock?

    Its is a TechArt Type III Wing. You remove the center section of the rear lid including the motor assembly that makes it go up and down and replace it with the TechArt piece. Here is a picture from the back
