I'm ready to get rid of some fender well gap, and strongly considering H&R springs for my SPASM equipped C2S. I've been researching the TechArt springs too, but I'm just not completely satisfied with the amount of drop they provide, HOWEVER, I know that if you go too low you start making compromises.
Is there anyone here running H&R springs that noticed a decrease in performance and regretted going that low? Obviously driveways and speed bumps become more of a challenge, but my main concern is adverse changes to the handling characteristics.
All feedback welcome. Thanks!

My tuning guy uses TechArt more than H&R because drop isnt as drastic. Not going to touch my 991.2 but SQ5 is on H&R and is fine.

I went through this same process. I ended up with the TechArt. As much as I love a low drop, the TechArt look just right to me, with relatively little compromise in Daily Driving. Any lower and the City of San Francisco would be eating my bumper on a daily basis.

How difficult was the install and how long did it take? Anything else needed besides the springs?

It's def lower than SPASM, I have a SPASM equipped car and the techart spring made the perfect drop IMO.

I have had H&R and I didn't like them (on a different car). They were to "hard" for me. I want stock'ish ride but lower so I went with TechArt. I think they are ok but I actually bought a full coil-over to replace them in the spring. Here's the TechArt on my car. I cannot image going much lower.

No other parts needed, just springs. I had mine installed at the dealer, about 2 hours labor.

I went through this same decision trying to pick between hr and techart. After looking at every image I could possibly find I decided on the hrs simply because I felt the techarts wouldn't provide that much of a difference in height from spasm. I've had them on for over a year now and totally happy with them. Ride quality similar to the oem spasm.
