Depends what you are going to use the car for. For a track car, I would recommend a good set of coilovers (b16's, etc). For a street car where its mainly for looks, it depends on the look you are going for. H&R is most aggressive, followed by Techart and then Eibach (I believe). The VTF and HAS kits are nice but have limited adjustability if you want to go really low (they dont go as low as the H&R up front) depending on what options you have on the car).

Not bad. A bit firmer but not at all harsh.
I have the original springs if I ever feel it's too much. Pretty easy to change out.

The drop is very conservative with Eibach FYI. You can also lower your factory setup in the rear only using the adjustable collars on the shock housing. For the front, there is no adjustment.

Nice. Narrow body 991.1 right? Wish I had that clearance to run such an aggressive offset in the rear of my narrow body 991.2.

yeah narrow body .1
with stock suspension arms, i have the rear camber adjusted to about -2.8deg which was the max we could get to get it flush. Before the alignment, the wheels and tires poked out noticeably.

Just resurrecting this thread to see what other people with C2S might have to say. No intention to track my vehicle. Just give it a little more aggressive stance and close the gap in the wheel well a little but not so little that it's barely noticeable. Also don't want to affect the ride quality to much. Might consider adding DSC if needed.
