Someone told me that the GTS with rear steer doesn't have much camber adjustment in stock form. I don't know if that's true or not. But are you guys having any issues with dialing in the rear camber after lowering your cars that much?
Now I have your attention. I would like to talk about centre locks.
Centre Locks
As you can see, I have Centre locks. I read so much rubbish about them. None of it were true. Coilovers fit just the same as non centre locks.
My centre lock OEM GTS brakes bolted straight onto a friends BASE Carrera 5 Stud car. Straight on. The hats have five holes in them. When fitting over a 5 stud, they slide straight on. When fitting on a Centre lock, you have five stumpy studs that screw in. See pic above. So much BS about centre locks. Hint its easier to take one NUT off than 5. You just use a bigger bar. Everything else is just B.S.
Installed the KW H.A.S 25371063 today on my 991.2 C4S. Options for the car include front axel lift and rear wheel steering only. Asked my installer (a professional) just anecdotally if he thought there would be any reason why they wouldn't work on a car with center-locks, and he didn't see why not. Said something to the effect that it would only be the hub and brakes that are different and the rest of the suspension should be the same. I caveat this with this is the first 991 he's worked on but he's worked on pretty much everything from Mclaren's to lifted diesel trucks. Maybe someone will be brave enough to give the center-lock install a try
Any-who, onto the pics: Wheels are BC Forged 21x9 / 21x11.5. Tires are Michelin PS4S. 255/30 & 325/25 Very happy with how it all came out.
Just looking at installing the KW HAS kit on my Cayman to lower it maybe 10-15mm.
Sounds like a great system and I gather it is more an aesthetic change rather than performance, although that would be a bonus!
Really interested in more feedback from long term users and whether or not there is much change with comfort? I already have PASM-sport so it is firm but reasonably comfortable in normal setting. Just want to go a little bit lower.

Do you have any photos of what the sleeve / spring kit looks like installed (behind the wheels)? Did you have to install rubber insulators on the springs in the front?
Thanks

Car is looking great and looks lower than mine with your 21's. I bought HRE's in factory size. Can you measure the height(floor to fender) front and rear please and share your thought of how it rides. I found mine to be a bit bouncy since going back and lowering the front a 1/4" more.
