Lowered C4S with TechArt
After deliberating on which lowering option was best for me I ended up going with TechArt. It is more conservative than others but I think the best option for a PASM car. I had the work done at Lucent Motors in Los Angeles and they did a fantastic job! They know how to set the car up right. Car ride is as good if not better than stock! This is the only photo I have of the car that was taken soon after I got home.

Can you still turn PASM on/off or Sport on/off? I'm tempted but I don't want to drive around all the time on stiff mode hehe

Absolutely. Has no effect on sport mode. All works the same. I was surprised how nice the car rides with sport on or off. This was one of the big reasons that I went with TechArt.

I am thinking about lowering my C2 and have been thinking about H&R or Eibach. When you tell that ride is still good I begin to wonder if maybe Techart is the best option.
Did you just install springs? If so how much lowering are we talking about?

You are right, I dont know why it says that though. On my techart spring box it said lowers 997 by 25mm and 997S 15mm. And I would assume it is because the pasm is 10mm lower.
