Default Lowering Springs?

TechArt, H&R and BBi all have lowering springs. 20-30mm depending. Anyone install yet? Any feedback? The car sits too high. I was leaning toward TechArt but photos of BBi car and Wheels Boutique on H&R have made me pause. Thoughts/experience?

Thanks

I'd consider Bilstein EVO. Personally, I've never been happy with installing lowering springs on stock dampers. There always seems to be compromises in comfort and dampening performance from the mismatch. Ohlins has the Road and Track coilovers as well.

Porsche SPASM for the win.

Its a 911, not a real big "Stance Nation" cultuer here...

How much did the springs reduce ride comfort?

Is that stance lower than the PASM (lowered 10mm) from Porsche 992 TTS?

We were impressed by both the stance and the ride comfort that the H&R springs provided to us on our 992 Turbo S Cabriolet. We're highly recommending it to all of our 992 clients.

Can’t go wrong with Techart and H&R Springs. Both cars look beautiful! I hate wheel gap!
