H&R, Techart - any thoughts?
So, I’m considering whether to go with H&R or Techart springs. I’m leaning toward Techart as it seems to give more granular control of height, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Also, I’m curious if anyone here has experienced issues (specially those with FAL) like getting into limp mode when dropping the suspension. I approached a few local installers and one of them voiced concern about doing this for the 992 platform as they had a few hit-or-miss experiences.
My car has regular PASM and FAL, and I plan to add aftermarket wheels later on, but I’m just changing offsets and will stick to 20/21 rims.
Cheers!

I have PASM with FAL, and the TechArt Height Adjustable Springs. I have driven about 400 miles after being lowered, and have not experienced any problems. I am surprised how good the ride is while the car handles so well. I even have 21"/22" wheels and have not adjusted the tire pressures of 35 psi fronts and 45 psi rears.
As I mentioned in another thread, the TechArt HAS kit works with both PASM and SPASM equipped cars. If you only have PASM, you actually end up with a SPASM-lite suspension! . The TechArt HAS system comes with helper springs for the rear which are to be installed whether you have PASM or SPASM. I might raise mine a tad after the springs settle.

I’m running the Techart springs.

Not a TTS but I did the Techart HAS on my wife’s Targa..and it has FAL. My dealer was kind enough to do it when the car was delivered new. The car rides beautifully…really good….throws no fault code - looks great…BUT the only reason we did it was because you couldn’t/ can’t get SPASM on a 992 Targa and I really like the look of a lowered car. My TTS that is on order has been specified with SPASM so I won’t be doing it to that car.

If you plan on getting the Techart springs to lower the car, there is no reason to order the SPASM option, right?
And do you basically get all of the same results from the Techart option that you would from ordering the SPASM option? I.e. anything beyond just the lowering, like handling or suspension tuning.

My car was factory lowered (SPASM) but lowered it with Techart adj springs, my plan was to wait until the DSC Controller came out to lower my car, but I just couldn't take the 4x4 look. I believe spasm is more then just the lowering, I think it included different helper rear springs that non spasm cars do not have. There is a thread on this

With the TechArt HAS, you utilize their rear helper springs whether you have PASM or SPASM. Hence, I have SPASM-lite on my car. I think the car rides and handles great, even with my 21"/22" wheels.

I installed lowering springs (tech art) on my 992S. The ride is OK, but the clunky noise coming from the front over every single bump is driving me beyond NUTS. I am either going back to stock or buying coilvers but for sure, NEVER, putting springs alone on my car...Most reviews don't speak about this. Do your homework. Most aftermarket springs will make your car clunk all day long...

Negative, this is not an installation issue. It was installed at one of most reputable shops in SoCal, they do this for living. Installing springs is not rocket science either. I believe that it is a design issue with this Tech Art sport springs specifically...
