I hate to say but I have been busy traveling on business over the past month and have only about 100 miles on the new springs. What little experience I have with the springs I love. Here are some new pictures I took of the car. I'll let you know once I get some more miles on it.

Personal, I think that's how the car should have sit from the factory..There is no reason we should have to lower these cars ourselves...JMHO

Congratulations with a nice car!!!

I guess you did a alignment after the lowering. Did you go with the standard or did you change it with a moore agressive one which the sport chassi have. I have heard some people has taken the cambers from the sport chassi with good result. Better cornering grip and now loss of stability and tyrewear.

Does anyone have some experience in this matter?

It's my understanding that Lucent Motors went with a bit more agressive camber on the alignment. It feels great whatever they did!

They just lowed my 997s with the H&Rs and did the same with the camber. It feels absolutely amazing now. I cant wait to get to the track next week!!

I'm curioius as to why you chose H&R over Techart? Lucent (Arling in particular) really promotes the Techart product. I am happy with it. Maybe another 1/2 inch would be perfect. I was concerned about messing with PASM.
