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:

Does anyone know the parts number for these springs for a 2006 c4s cab with pasm? I keep looking but have seen 29188-1 and 54097

Thanks

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...

Groove so maybe your car did only drop about 1 inch?

After reviewing several H&R postings, looks like the 997/997S & 997C4S H&R's come in 2 models - a 1" drop and a 1.2" drop
I think my car had 1.2" but since PO did the work, I never found out

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.

Did you replace the upper strut mounts or rear toe links when you installed the springs or are you still running the stock ones?
