Default H&R Springs almost a year later-- PICS

Just fyi for guys thinking about lowering:

Here are a few different angle of my car as it looks today.. it was lowered with H&R Springs in January 2015. It may have "settled" ever-so slightly and is now a touch lower than at install 11 months ago.

Driveways need to be taken at an angle, but otherwise no issues!

H&R nailed it with the 997 springs. Valiant effort by Eibach/Techart but didn't quiet get there imo.

I agree, the H&R springs are the perfect stance.

What tire sizes are you running?

Sadly at 49 years of age, I feel too old for this. I lowered almost every Mustang I owned for years and now I think I will be fine with the PASM. I do have to admit that they look incredible lowered.

Hi Guys, OP here, thanks for the nice comments.

Ryan-- I'm very happy with the H&Rs, but truth be told I can't feel much of a difference in cornering from stock. Maybe I need the sways too like VBB to noticeably improve cornering. I know the party line is that the lowered car improves cornering, but IME the H&R springs is really just about the look. Cornering is about the same as far as I can tell. Track may be different.. I've never tracked this car so I just don't know.

Sandwedge-- I agree 100%, but I've seen that many think that the H&Rs are too low, and that Eibach/techart stance (slightly higher) is a better stance. It's a matter of opinion. I'm like you-- like it H&R low...

Philly-- I have matt black 19" wheels (http://vertiniwheels.com/Wheels_P6%20MAGIC.html) with 305s in the rear and I can't recall the fronts but I know that they're stock size.

WV-- I'm 50... 'nuff said! Go get it lowered! :-)

Lowering is usually one of my first mod's, as it was recently to my new 993TT. Your 911 looks great with the combination of being lowered and the black wheels. Enjoy.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know a year later, and looking great.

SPASM is 20 mm lower than stock. H&R is 31.75 mm or 1.25" lower than stock. It gives you a perfect stance with minimum fender gap. But it's definitely not for everyone, it's very very low, especially if you have an aerokit. I scrape almost everywhere I go. It's 3.5" off the ground with my front lip.
