Thanks! Came out to $700 for install and to have it dialed in to the (imo) perfect height.

Whoring out a pic of my car on HAS even though it's not CL:

Looks amazing. What size rims are these? Are the tires oversized?

They really got everything right on this kit. I am using a 325/30-21 on the back and a 265/35-20 on the front with a 14mm and a 7mm spacer.

The front lift allows me to clear every driveway easily still.

I just took out a set of Height Adjustable Springs from a customers car to replace them with the Bilsteins. It is a night and day difference in ride quality between the two.

It comes with shocks as well in this kit. The rear shock in the FAL version is a fully threaded shock body. They also install using your factory electronics. It is a plug and play fit because Bilstein is also OE supplier for the 992.

I was planning on getting the Bilsteins but on their website they don't list the GTS as compatible. I contacted Bilstein directly and their tech said they aren't compatible with the GTS and they were likely coming out with GTS specific versions at some point but couldn't comment on when or if they will.

Thanks, wheels are same size as OEM and those are actually the OEM tires. Car is lowered and offsets are more aggressive though.

How easy is the install? Also, do you have to reset ride height and FAL "zero" settings in the computer?

You dont need to reset anything. If you have front axle lift you have to transfer the lift mechanism from the stock shocks to the Bilstein shocks but if you do not have FAL it is a little easier.

If you are located in the LA area we can easily do it for you. If you live far away we can help wak you through any questions with the install.

@Staff@WORLD Bilstein is saying this EVO kit is not compatible with the GTS suspension. I'm curious, does your Turbo have optional SPASM (i.e. identical to GTS) or just PASM (i.e. unique in the lineup)? Does the damping of the EVO feel similar to or more firm than stock?

My car is a regular PASM car but we use the same part number for both variants. It feels more firm than stock but in the soft setting it's very compliant.

As a dealer, do you happen to know the spring rates for the EVO kit?

Are the spring rates for the KW HAS spring rates comparable to the sport PASM found on the GTS?

i want to lower it, but don’t want to go softer than the factory sport pasm springs
