Default 991.2 TTS Eibach Pro Kit - with lowered rear spring perch

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

Looks great. How is the ride?
Can you post some more larger pictures?

I didn't realize there was a way to lower the rear spring perch. I had Eibach's but got rid of them for H&R's because they had an odd rake. Your car looks so much better than mine.

The black body and black tire makes it hard to see the difference, but the rake is there. It was almost stock height out back...

looks like it still has a bunch of rake. GMG are made by Eibach and sit even.

i definitely wouldn’t say it has “a bunch” of rake. It’s much flatter on level ground with only a slight rake. This is also right after install so I expect them to settle slightly.

The GMG springs do not work with FAL, which my car has.

Better pic from the side - hopefully this one isn't too small.

Shows the gap - still a very small rake, but I think it looks great.

Thanks for posting. Looks perfect! I’ve been thinking of either techArt or these. TechArt seem too low for the roads in my town so I think Eibach it is

It looks perfect. If I can do a redo I would go this route instead of my techArt.

per GMG their springs do work with FAL, that information is old. we have installed them with FAL.

That's unfortunate then as they should have updated their website. Bad info obviously won't lead to a sale. Once I saw the disclaimer on their site, they were pulled from the option list.

They look great, however.

New wheels and tires. Looks much better than the flat black powder coated OE wheels. Dealer picked the wheel color before I bought it, otherwise I might not have even picked these up. Overall I think it turned out though.
