Who can guess what kind of springs these are?

Thanks to Raj for his help in selecting these for my application and to Sunset for including a free Porsche calendar and fridge magnet!!

Can't you see the jumping smiley??? The springs are for a much-needed pogo stick. Jumping gets one tired quickly.

Are those Club Sport springs? Nice.

Nice, they came pretty quick. Enjoy them .
I had to wait over 6 months for Porsche to build a batch.

Yes they are 968 clubsport springs and I'm replacing the current H&R springs because they're an aftermarket spring modification according to PCA classification. The clubsport springs will help drop me down 1 classification for this season.

$173 SHIPPED from Sunset, but they took 1 month to deliver from Germany.

Have you bought your H&R springs yet? I'll be removing mine so let me know if you'd like to buy them. I'll give you a good deal since they are used but they're really nice and the ride height is perfect!

Arash might be interested in those H&Rs. He's getting ready to do new shocks, so the timing is perfect.

Are you doing the Sears Point DE in a couple of weeks? Autox is for p***ies!

BTW, does GGR PCA still so that groundschool BS before the DEs.

What kind of drop can one expect from these CS springs?

I was going to go with Paragon's springs for the S2/968, which give about an inch.

I believe it's about the same, about an inch and a half. Trevor, I am interested, but your pm box is full, can you shoot me a pm when you get a chance!

Thanks,
Steve

Paragon sells Hypercoils. they are a lot stiffer than CS Springs. The nice thing about CS Springs is that they have the same rate as stock springs, just shorter.
I bought my 1st set from a guy in UK, used set and paid a lot of $$$ but once I found out Sunset could get them, I ordered a new set of springs.

Yea, I would like to keep my ride quality (or lack there of), but I don't want to have to wait that long...

These do fit the S2 though, correct?

Cory, they should fit since the S2 and 968 use similar style struts.
