Not a problem, it will save someone else a huge headache. My whole damn toolbox didn't have a T55 torx.A dealer hooked me up. Supreme Power and Vivid usually give pretty good pricing on KW as well.I know, right. They need to take that cutting the perch photo off, it's scaring people from buying it. Good news is it's a cheap part to replacement. Thanks bro.
Springs are settled (1/8" lower). Here are some photos I took. I just bought a used Hola Polarizing filter for my camera, best $10 I've ever spent.
My wheels specs are 20x9 ET45 front and 20x12 ET45 rear. Suspension is set to be 3/4" lower front and 1/2" lower rear. I haven't done corner balancing yet, will wait for the springs to fully settle so maybe before spring.
Since I marked all the bolts that require alignment and restore it to stock, no immediate alignment is required. No pulling or nothing strange. Just remember the only alignment bolts you should touch is the camber plates removal upfront, the rest don't remove them to do this DIY.
Perfect stance right there. No ugly fender gap and not too low.
Thanks so much, Ryan.

Love the car btw. Been looking for it as I drive around. I live in OP.

If you follow my technique of marking the 3 bolts for the camber plates upfront and only lower 3/4" front and 1/4" rear (don't remove any rear parts that require alignment), it doesn't move the geometry enough to require "immediate" alignment.
I plan to take my car to Santa Fe Garage to get it corner balanced and aligned once the springs settle. Since my car isn't a daily, I will set it to GT3 alignment. -1.7 camber front and 0 toe rear.
I have the KW HAS kit installed on my 991.1 S. There is no need to cut the spring perch. I couldn't be happier with the qaulity, performance and ride these springs provide. The height adjustability is a great feature. I don't have my lowered as much as the OP, but mine is lowered to just a few mm above GT3 height.

On a technical note, does anyone know the spring rates on these and whether they are linear or progressive? Seriously considering this myself.
20% stiffer than stock, progressive front and linear rear. I can't find the exact spring rate, might be proprietary. What I can tell you is ride comfort isn't sacrificed. Normal rides like Sport, Sport rides like Sport+, etc.. Not bouncy, just perfect.
