Default Carrera T w/Techart Springs

I'm not usually a fan of springs but the Techart's do not disappoint. After spending two days at the track with the T I was blown away with how well Spasm works with these springs. There was no sign of reduced travel and the direct steering was unchanged (better actually due to the alignment) and the car was always planted. I will need to check with my shop regarding the alignment specs but there was little to no understeer whatsoever. To be honest I felt that this car is a little underwhelming on the street but it is a rocket on the track. The low end torque mated with outstanding traction catapults into straights effortlessly. Although this review was intended to be a review of the springs, the biggest surprise are the standard brakes mated with the Pagid RS29 pads. Unless you despise brake dust, this car has PLENTY of brake.

Info on the car:
2018 Carrera T
PDK
RWS
LWB's
Techart Springs
Stock size Michelin Cup2's
Pagid RS29 Pads
Wheel Stud Conversion
GMG Rollbar
Schroth 6-points
SpeedTech Switch-X exhaust w/Hi-Flow 200cell HJS cats

I really like the stance, just worry about sacrificing the ride quality.

Spring rate?

Would you be so kind to tell me what Pagid rear pad part number you got? 4918 or 4909?
Where did you order from?
Thank you.

The mirrors were painted. The grey mirrors are unattractive in my opinion.
