reviews of just H&R springs only haven't been very good. I have the H&R adjustable coil overs installed and have been satisfied. If you are looking for spring only install, look into techarts or cargraphics they seem to have much more favorable reviews. sharkman you out there?

I did some research here and on 6speed, only one unhappy owner out of many. Maybe that guy got bad springs

Had the Gemballa/H&R Springs we sell on my 996TT Cab and never had a problem (though only had the car for 3,500 miles ).
Here are pics with 19" HRE's

are you sure only "one" unsatisfied? someone posted the other day about H&R spring only and, if I remember there were a few unsatisfied posters. but hey it's your turbo, I just recall all the complaints over the years.

I have a few sets of our PSS9's in stock. They are not just the plain PSS9's, they have been custom valved to FVD's specs (This was done in the Bilstein Fabctory and have the normal warranty) and are really very nice! I have been running them in my car for 25,000 miles and have many many happy customers. If you would like a set, I have them ready to ship at $2195!

Hi Jags,
Sorry, but there is no way. They normally retail for $2895, I am already giving you dealer cost on them and in no way could go any lower or include shipping

the 19's are 8.5" front and the rears are 11.5". I'm at just slightly lower than the stock GT2 height. If you want GT2 ride height or lower the PSS9's will have bump stop issues. Well documented by KPV on 6speed, he has done a lengthy write-up on this issue.

The H&R is a great setup, you don't really need the adjustments unless you are tracking frequently and are runnning on many different courses and terrain. Most guys just adjust it once or twice and are done with it. It's a major PITA to do access adjustments in the rear. The H&R will handle fine.
