Default Price Check - H&R Sport Springs and Aluminum Gauges

Looking to pick-up and install both for my baby.

Getting a quote of $310 from TireRack on the springs and $210 on the aluminum gauges.

If you guys know of a better deal, please let me know or I'll go ahead and pick these up.

Many thanks.

Might check out Porsche RoW springs for your car, relatively cheap.

What's the best price you've seen Chris?

The H&R Sport Springs will drop ya 1" front and back for the C4S, whereas the RoW's will lower it 20 mm (or just over 3/4" up front) and 10 mm (just over 3/8" inch) at back. Would prefer the levels of the H&R's but the benefit with the RoW's is that you also get the bushings, not to mention that it is a "factory" setup, correct?

that is not enough to warrant the spending. 1" drop will perform much better in handling. You dont need bushings for springs. I will do the $290. Call me.

I wouldn't buy gauges from TireRack.... come to think of it, neither would I buy the springs...
Check e-bay I got my H&Rs for about $240.

Vic, oem is always better imo, suncoast has them for around 300, I've seen HR's as low as 199 on ebay.
I have the tequipment guage rings, they run around 125, try fvd or bumperplugs,don't know vivids price. 199 is a good price on the alum guage faces, a little tricky to install.
Anytime you want to check out mine you can, I have GHLs, fabspeed airbox, x73 etc, see for yourself.
btw what kind of valve covers do you have?

I dont think you will find H&R for the 996 for $200. List is $499 and Max discount you can get is about 50% off. So we are skimpin at our price to make you happy
