Mike - great looking car.
I just wanted to thank you for an excellent thread. Even though I went the TechArt spring route, your measurements and photos helped me tremendously in making my decision (particularly as I have the same style wheels). FYI on mine I had the wheels painted black and the silver lip created with a lathe. Definitely my favorite wheel for the 997.
My measurements and pics for comparison are here:

Thanks, I sent them an email. Their website which you linked only show the non pasm springs which is 29188-1 so I think the pasm model may be 29181-1
However H&R shows the pasm springs as 54097 and since they are the manufacturer, then that must be it

Vern, Im guessing you got this sorted by now. Sorry I just logged in today after a looong time. I would think that C4s with PASM is the same as the ones I got...

I think you're right but I would call to confirm. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff there. No affiliation other than having bought cars and parts from them.

I used Eibach's as opposed to H&R's was due to final "broken in" ride height. IIRC it was the difference of 1/2" or so.

There has been a lot of request for updates if there has been any settling... here you go at last I finally got around in taking some measurements and pictures. Before they were at Front 26.62", Rear 26")
Now, After 5 years and about 18,000miles, here's a height/settling update
Front is at: 25.875" (25 7/8")
Rear is at: 26.3125"(26 5/16")
