Hi All,
I've decided to throw on Eibach springs to reduce the known wheel gap these base Carrera 4's tend to have. On a previous 06 997 Carrera I had in Dubai I ran H&R springs and felt the drop was way too low. Eibachs are the perfect stance in my opinion. Here are the before and after shots:

Eibach claims 0.8 to 1.0 inch drop.

Ride is about the same or nearly close to stock.
I had an all in price of $873 including pro-kit springs, install, and taxes (here in Toronto Canada)

Eibach 7222.140 is for both the C4 and C4S...my car doesn't have PASM but I don't think it matters.

I installed the Eibach springs on my car about two years ago. Rides great. You can expect the car to settle about another 1/4 inch in a couple of weeks. I think that that the total drop ended up being about 1 inch in the front and 1.2 inches in the rear. I have the same wheels too! Avant Garde.
