Default lowering springs

hi, i just picked up a c4s which has the same suspension as the TT.
i am looking for a set of lowering springs, used or new, hopefully someone has some laying around that were not stiff enough.
this car a is a daily driver and would like to stay very close to the current spring rate
regards

Get coilovers. Lowering springs will ruin your handling. Your car will float at high speed. Use search. Unless you are doing it for looks only and won't drive it properly - don't do it.

I used the porsche ROW springs. You have a choice of US version or ROW. The row are lower and designed for the car, the us version are higher for us dot regulation height. I love um and only costed about $400.
You specify your vehicle, like tip or cab etc to get the correct ones.

Mike,

If you have a C4S you already have a lowered stance. I forgot what it's called, but it's in between US and ROW. Like US Sport or something like that. Spending money on ROW springs would be a waste on a C4S.

Do coilovers or leave it alone. IMO.

Anybody do PSS10's? How do they compare to stock suspension vis a vis stiffness at the softest setting?

the factory literature says the turbo suspension is 10mm lower that regular 911. so thats where you are getting the lower than normal quote.
(But the C4S also has special, only for the C4S bilsteins)
and if you do the row springs like I said, you lower again by 10/20mm
