i was looking for this thread last night. design 911 said they did not have any in stock. at this point i do not know what i am going to do. Maybe just go with the B6 version if i can find those.
I had seen a few posts about the H&R being too low, actually delayed putting them on my car for quite some time out of concern.
I finally installed them with some B8s, and maybe they will settle a bit more, but so far my opinion is they are absolutely not too low, at least not with my tire/wheel setup.
I'll post more impressions after I get to drive them a bit, but a few pictures for now.
Awesome. It's definitely got a few more pounds behind it, but nothing offensive. Only a few miles on it so far, but initial impressions is that feel, take up and engagement is predictable and crisp compared to hydro-boosted setup!
What spacers did you use? Can they be bought somewhere or did you make them yourself?

When you do get big dips and G-outs it is much stiffer. If i had it to do over again i would have held off, saved up and gotten the Ohlins R&T
I made the from "thick fender washers" from the ace hardware store. They just slip over the three mounting studs and then seat on the body sheet metal. Basically shimming down the shock and top hat. The tech at H&R recomended that I not shim the spring on the shock assy as it may cause coil binding at full travel.
I got about 1/4" - or 6.5mm - of thread sticking over the top of the nuts on the front shocks. How much will my front get raised if I get a 1/4" billet spacer made and install it?

I'm looking to raise the front of my 996 Turbo a little since buying a place where I cannot get into the driveway without ruining the car. Any more info on coil over spacers would be appreciated.
