Default Just lowered my C4S at Lucent Motors using TechArt Springs

Today I finally took some additional photo's of my C4S that was recently lowered at Lucent Motors using TechArt sport springs. I thought I would share them with the forum.

rzundel, I have a p-car exactly like yours. Congrats to you! Beautiful p-car.
Can you elaborate on the ride after lowering? Can you provide pricing information and the parts used? Also, what impact will it have on the handling and stiffness?

Looks really good especially with the TT rims. Any idea if those are repackaged H & R springs? Do you have PASM, and if so, I assume there's no impact on it's functionality?.....

Good choice of cars! I only have about 100 miles since the lowering but I am very impressed with the ride. It doesn't seem any more rough in either sport or normal PASM mode. In fact, I like the feel of the car with a lower center of gravity. TechArt only lowers the car 3/4 inches more on the C4s. As you know, the C4s is lower to start with over the non-S car. I choice TechArt over H&R because I wanted to car lowered evenly front and rear verses the rake you get with the H&R. Also, I didn't want to go any lower because of PASM.

The cost was about $1200 installed. I think this makes a world of difference on the looks of the car. I also have 7mm H&R spacers in the rear. Did you add spacers?

TechArt's are made to TechArt specs by Eibach. Yes, I have PASM and no impact to functionality at all.

Did TechArt lower your front and rear by the same amount?

rzundel, love the lowered look of your car.

I would be interested to know whether due your mod the Porsche warranty is affected in any way?

It shouldn't affect the warranty. Of course, the new springs won't be covered by warranty and I'm sure if I have other related problems they might have to make a judgement call.

Looks fantastic. Every 997 should be delivered that way.
