Can someone please post the ride height changes with Eibach and H&R? I want to fit one finger between tire/ fender. Any pics of each?

Question on Lowering Springs on 911 with PASM
Tech Art lowering springs leave about a finger. I think this is the same height as Eibach. H&R drop another 1/2 inch or so lower from what I understand.

No tire rubbing here ever. I won't compromise my car function for looks under any circumstance. With this mod there is zero impact on function from OEM.

I just picked up a 2009 Carrera that has been lowered with H&R springs and has spacers installed. I am getting rubbing when even crawling over speed bumps of any size and when entering a driveway with any slope to it. Am I correct to assume that if the car is set up properly, even with lowering springs, rubbing shouldn't be an issue? I am running 8x19 Carrera S wheels ( 57 offset ) with 7mm spacers for my summers. After mounting my winters, 8.5x19 Carrera Sport wheels ( 55 offset ) the problem was even more pronounced. Any ideas?

I’ve had three 997 variants all lowered with H&R’s and all with PASM. No issues ever. No harsh ride, rubbing, sagging or harsh ride. I would not consider H&R’s slammed.
An alignment is necessary and I do a street alignment vs track. Not as aggressive but gives longer tire wear. My local Porsche dealer recommends H&R over Eibach. Ride height is perfect for me. Eibach will give you a slightly higher ride height. Really depends on your preference.
