Ah understood.

And I'm assuming the pricing on the site is per spring and the front and rear springs are the same?

Gaudin's price is per spring. The front and rear are different. Scroll back in the menu to find the fronts. Gaudin is just a dealer example. My installer ordered from someone else.

I initially changed my GTS to tractive coilovers 75/150.

But after adding antisway bars the front was way too soft.
Then went to 100/150 and that was sweet.

But I recently wanted more and I am now at 120/170 which is GT2-RS MR spec.

33/108 from 24/48 isn’t the best. You’ve doubled the rear and barely changed the front. 50/108 would handle considerably better. These cars are way too soft in the front end from factory. Just notice how much the nose of the car dives under heavy braking, or raise under acceleration.
These seem like the 991.1 spring rates. Does anyone know if the 991.2 springs are different?

I finally got the springs installed on my car, along with the lower rear perches as recommended. As mentioned above, it gave a nice little drop, admittedly I wouldn't have been upset if it was a little lower still but because the car is my daily, this will have to work. I really appreciate the additional spring stiffness though, especially in the rear.

What setup did you end up going with?

SPASM springs, take offs from a low mile GTS, SPASM rear lower spring cups, and kept the stock PASM shocks. Now that I've had a little more time to look at it, I am pretty happy with the stance, and as noted above, much happier with the handling. It is noticeably stiffer over rough roads and speed bumps but considerably more stable and confidence inspiring on my favorite local road.
