H&R...

Not sure if the photo gives much away




And the paper work for the springs - I have no idea what it means tbh, yes I understand French and German but the figures means nothing to me...




So, I'm not a "racer" by any means and I was asked when I got the car from my OPC if I wanted to keep the current springs or if I wanted the stock ones fitted.
I just said I'd try the ones fitted, and the sales person told me that in Switzerland there would not be any problems with the front scraping as they have strict rules on everything here, BUT could cause an issue in e.g. France.

I feel they may be a tad too "tight" and the ride comfort is not the best for Sunday drivers and long weekend getaways. I will defo have these changed back to stock when I get my bank balance back to normal and when the next service is due next year...

The tech arts look lower than the HR or is it just me?

no rub. To me, the 991.1 TTS stock ride height seemed like the 964 SUV ride height; was not a fan. my driveway doesn't have a great approach, same transition as our sidewalk curb, and I dont rub against it like I did with a 997

The BBS FI-R's and the TechArt springs will be a great combo. It's a setup we've helped numerous customers with. When you're ready for it give me a holler and I'll take care of you with a package deal.

So you have Techarts and 21 inch wheels? Any rub at all? Even on spirited drives?

I'm in the middle of installing my Techart springs that I got from Tag motorsport. Everyone that already has them on, do you remember what all came in your box? My box just had the 4 springs and 2 different bumpstops for the front. The back springs look a little funny to me, on how they will fit with tophat compared to stock ones. Is there supposed to be a different isolator that fits on top of spring under tophat plate?

I thought the same thing too - I was expecting 'more'. That is correct, and the rears do look a little different than expected.
