Default Lowering spring question

Hey all,
I am looking for a set of lowering springs.
I would like to know what the lowest spring drop is available for our 991 turbo cars.
I have seen some that are 1 inch... But is that a lower drop available?
Thanks

from my research HR springs lower the most, around 30 mm

techart springs lower around 25 mm

I'm planning on using techart to maybe provide a little more ground clearance

I have techart - really like them, car sits more like a GT, and I haven't noticed any degradation in ride quality... Having said that, I'm quite happy to have FAL without it some driveways would be problematic.

I'd recommend the GMG springs, they are more money but I think they are the best option for our cars.

https://shop.gmgracing.com/collectio...wering-springs

Usually the H&R offerings are linear thus same springs rate , the GMG's are progressive and made by Eibach thus ride better especially on crappy roads . The car is lower with them than the regular Eibach springs. And also get the TPC racing suspension box, my car rode amazing with that combination and thats on Philly roads and it sits perfect.



GMG states they lower 28mm which translates to a 1.1 inch drop
