Is that the adjustable front, or fixed FAL Bilstein EVO's?
This is my stock GTS ride height (light added to help see where the top of the tire is). Given the FAL version is supposed to lower S-PASM 25mm more, I'm estimating the ride height would come down to about 26 5/8". I'd prefer 27", just trying avoid looking slammed, and look more like the GT3 ride height.
Going to answer my own question here. Please note stock rates referenced come from another post here with a table of rates, I have not validated them to another source, use and compare at own risk.
EVO SE No FAL: Front Main Spring Rate (lbs/in) :428/ Progressive (75N/mm) (GTS 63, C2S SPASM 45, PASM 30) Rear Main Spring Rate (lbs/in) :742.32/ Progressive (130N/mm) (GTS 150, C2S SPASM 125, PASM 72)
EVO SE With FAL: Front Main Spring Rate (lbs/in) :279.8/ Progressive (49N/mm) Rear Main Spring Rate (lbs/in) :742.32/ Progressive (130N/mm)
That’s great info thank you. The FAL Bilstein is pretty much the same as my S SPASM but has progressive springs. KW HAS is Progressive front and Linear rear but is softer at 40F/100R N/mm
Is there anyone here running this on a base 992.2? Im looking at ways to bring a bit more stability and confidence to the base in sporty driving, and this seems like the best option but I dont see mix about their use with the .2
For the GTS guys with FAL running this setup, do you prefer the ride and handling to stock? Is there a compromise being made here? Both spring rates in the SVO SE suspension seem to be softer than the GTS stock springs.

Thats likely done to address/improve ride quality, but the shock dampening is where the tech is. Softer springs notwithstanding, it is vastly stiffer than an S or GTS.
