Lowering Springs On Dropped 997S Cab With 20 inch Tech Arts
We just completed our second 997S Cab (we usually do coupes) with the H&R lowering springs (yes they truly are available guys!) and I was actually really impressed with the handling. On the test drive I expected the 20 inch tech arts to be iffy but I had a lot of confidence in turns and so on. Plus yeah it does look pretty slick... We had a few people do the usua "Daaaaaaayyyyyum". Toomer's car is so well optioned. It's got a really slick interior with all kindsa silver accents. My favorite 997S cab to date.. I know the tech arts are heavy but the look pretty beefy/mean!
Now that we've done a good few 997S' with the lowering springs I can honestly say it compliments the PASM suspension really well. The handling is no worse, which has often been the case when simply slapping springs on (like on non PASM cars). For a change you don't seem to have to sacrifice handling for looking good. On the 996s I always steer people away from springs in favor a true coil over kit such as the PSS9s to avoid, pogooing and so forth...

Sorry dude, but those wheels are way too big. I've noticed that as the wheels get larger they've started to look like old-time covered wagon wheels. I mean the cross drilled rotors look so little and lost in all that wheel. A certain sense of proportion is lost. Just because one can do something does not mean one should...

Sharky, I love the cab but those wheels dont look right on a cab...spokes are too big and thats all your eye is drawn to. They seem to look better (even though I dont like 20's on 997's) on the coupes....
I guess if you buy a cab one really does not care about weight....
Just my honest opinion!
