About to pull the trigger on Gerts special Bilstein HDs but am undecided/confused about which springs to match them with?

Gert tells me that the M030 springs are firmer than the H&R springs, but does anyone know if the different spring options are all the same length?

Will one allow more lowering than the others?

My driving is 90% street and 10% track, I dont feel I'd ever use the adjustability of the PSS9s anyway and I haven't heard anything bad come from the HD setup.

Ideally, I'd like to go just above RS ride height

Opinions welcome

I have the MO30 That Gert has on sale now. I used his height adjustments (Gert send you the specs, talk about service) My car IMO looks and rides super. Its on rails. Like most said, my shocks were shot. But I didn't really understand how bad untill I put this suspension on. I love the set up. And like you, saw no need for the PSS9. But it must be great as well judgeing from the response here.

Thanks Rolo - I was about to lose my faith in Rennlist for a minute there (yeah, right!).

I dont suppose you have a pic do you (you knew I was going to say that, right?)

I have the H&R springs with Bilstein HDs from Gert. It lowers the car about 1/4" below ROW M030, but is a little above RS ride height. I've been pretty happy with it.

The stiffer suspension is at its worst when driving around town on bad streets and potholes, but those are short stints and it isn't tiresome to me. I was worried that it might be fatiguing on long highway road trips, but at speed the car feels GREAT and does not feel too stiffly sprung.

I have the same H&R/Bilstein set-up. It's awesome on the track, great around the backroads, fine in the suburbs, tolerable in the occasional city driving with the large potholes, ruts, and all. If I had to drive in the city everyday though, I don't think the car would hold up!

Lets see if this works

I took Viken's advice about the M030/HD combination for my street only driving. The ride is firm, not harsh, corners on rails, RoW ride height, and I have been happy with it ever since. Money was not the issue for the PSS9. I am just not the type to fiddle with it.

You may have seen my thread about a similar topic - today I learned about Porsche Lowering Springs - Not exactly Euro MO30 but they do bring the car down to ROW ride height. They were recommended for my 100% street driving in combination with the Bilstein HD. The statement was that the H&R would be too harsh for street only use.

Are these Porsche Lowering Springs a dealer only item? Do you have a price?

This seems like it might be a better option for me, as 95% of my driving is in city.
