To your point, the car feels like it's "on the nose" more than it did pre-drop. A more sensitive front axle, in other words. Not dialed up to 11, but noticeable. Geometry changes are a decent percentage of that, no doubt, but certainly the ride height differences front to back being more front-biased would contribute too.
Taking a look here, 2019 TTS Cab, looks like I have 3 empty grooves showing. Should I assume that the clip is in the 4th groove from the bottom (or 2nd from the top) based on what is visible?
The collar looks like a larger diameter from the ones I’ve seen posted here. Maybe it’s a 2019 thing. I know the PCCBs are different for ‘19, maybe this is too? The part number starts with “997-“ so it appears to be a factory part. Porsche North Houston installed the springs.
Measured the distance from top of one groove to top of the next groove. Each groove is 4.5mm difference. IF the clip is in groove 4 then that’s 13.5mm of drop to go all the way to the bottom (0.53”). That might be a bit much. I’ll put this all back together and remeasure.
EDIT - actually that would be pretty spot on. Now I just need to verify where the clip is now.

Update. Finished moving the clip to the lower perch. As stated already, it’s perfect with the Eibachs.

Update on this - The increased front end sensitivity that I felt “post spring install” seems to have been resolved. I drove it over several surface conditions today and it doesn’t feel as darty or sensitive to imperfections as before dropping the clip and leveling the car back out. Difficult to imagine that 1/2” is enough to make that kind of difference, but that’s what I’m feeling.
I'm very interested in changing out my springs to close my stock wheel gap but I am VERY sensitive about not wanting to change the ride quality. This thread has been a helpful read as I continue to consider my options.

Eibachs, dropping the clip to the bottom groove plus the addition of the DSC suspension controller was the magic recipe for my car. It’s really damn good right now. I kept all of the stock parts to change back if it wasn’t right. I’m glad this worked out because it looks much better than stock height.
Hi All - I installed a set of Eibach pro-kit springs on my 2019 TTS. I had heard that these springs had a lot of rake to them, which might be true under normal install conditions. When I installed mine, however, I lowered the rear spring perch 10mm by lowering the c-clip. This took out some of the rake, I believe. Wanted to post these pics for others interested in these springs.
Overall, I like the way it looks. I didn’t want it as low as the Techart due to the roads around here. I think it turned out great
tried to send you a dm, any idea what your offsets are?
