Before TAG installed the springs, our 911 had a "track alignment" done by Mirage in San Diego (a very, very, very accomplished shop). Track session tire wear was excellent. The post springs change stats are in the above report. Now then, is the "before" in this stat sheet before the springs were changed? My guess: no. To date I have not tracked the car with the new set up. So what do we have? Just numbers? You tell me. Hope this data helps.
You are correct. The "Before" is after we installed the springs when we moved it onto the alignment rack.
Any long term review of the techart springs? Had the ride quality degraded at all over time? Still happy with them?
I liked them at first on my 997.2, but found, long term, that the ride degraded since the OEM shocks, in my opinion, were not up to the task. Keep in mind, I did not have PASM on my Carrera. I have heard that PASM better deals with lowering spring. I have installed on my 991.1 Ohlins Road & Track coilovers. Even though the spring rates are significantly higher, the shock is better able to deal with it and find the ride with my significantly stiffer Ohlins on the softer shock setting better than the ride on my 997.2 with OEM shocks and Techart springs. This is only partly subjective, however, and coming from a track guy. In my opinion, ride quality and how a car reacts is objective. That said, if I were to buy lowering springs for a Porsche, I would go with Techart or Eibach (same spring other than that Techart claims their version may be slightly different).
Just had H&R’s installed and love the look! Car isn’t harsh at all but feels a little more “bouncy” than it did on the stock springs. Never experienced this on any of my other cars with H&Rs so wondering if it’s an installation issue? Thoughts?
Just had my h&rs installed this week. Looks great. I’ve got a slight grinding sound that I never noticed before but nothing “feels” out of the ordinary. Need to get my brakes done soon so I’ll have them take a look again when I do that if I continue to hear it.
When TAG installs a spring set, included in the price is a follow up visit within +/- 10 days during which they doublecheck the installation just to make sure all is 100% OK.
Do most of you guys add the wheel spacers with tech art lowering spring? How do they looking without the spacers? I guess they won't look flush without the spacers.
