Mine also has what I believe to be H&R springs (?)(bought the car with them), however this is on a PASM car. The stance is perfection imo (could be lower, but I already deal with scraping the lip so much). Ride and handling are excellent, but I'm not sure yet how exactly it compares to stock. I will say that no way would a base suspension feel near sporty enough for me. The regular PASM would probably lack some tightness. The ride with H&R's and PASM is a very good mix of stiff, road feel, yet smooth and refined.

Thank you! I will look into that today and report back. I'm seeing your H&R cars and they do look lower. All I know is it has lowering springs (seems to sit as low as a stock SPASM car) but trying to figure out which. If they're blue would that mean H&R?

So I looked under, and they are in fact blue. Does that mean they are H&R's?

Here's another angle from a picture that the previous owner took (I thought the car may have spacers too, but I assume it's just how a 911 with wide wheels sits).

How was the DIY install? Any tips or issues that were tricky or troublesome? I am interested in doing this as well.

DIY Install went well. I started a DIY lowering guide for 991S. I still need to add the section for doing the rears. This: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1014...ing-guide.html

Could anyone with H&R's (or Tech Art for that matter)...and...a SPASM front spoiler lip, measure the ground clearance at the front of the lip? I really need to figure out the absolute clearance. I hear that H&R is slightly lower than Tech Art but can't confirm specific numbers. Thanks in advance!
