some body will trade you for those, it would be smart to trade whole shocks and springs but has to be the same car, check H&R for fitment to that part #
I got a quote from porsche dealer for $2500, and from independent euro repair shop $3000 with new OEM mounts. But I plan to do it myself. Car has 42,000 miles on it, do I need to replace the mounts?
The parts numbers from the euro shop are different from semicyclers kind post above. E_997-2_KATALOG.pdf has lots of parts I am not sure which are correct for my 2009 C2S.
edited: OK, my bad. I gave you manual part numbers originally. You need automatic instead. But your indy gave you bad numbers too so I plead the 5th
The front springs listed above are correct (997.343.531.50.504). The last few digits 504 are the color band identification notes. Your indy is just chopping off the last two digits on the quote (04).
The rears are wrong though both from my original list (PASM/manual) and your indy (non-PASM/automatic). The correct PASM/automatic rear version is 997.333.531.87.504
See the links below to verify everything. Active suspension = PASM in this list. Parts are cheaper too.
Thank you very much indeed this is totally clear!
There is a separate number for sport suspension versus active suspension, for the front only http://www.porschepartshub.com/porsc...rt_name=spring
I have sport chrono + in addition to PASM, by chance do you know if I need #49 or #50?
That website guarantees fitment I should be able to confirm by placing an order with VIN.

Have you driven your model car, with regular springs? If not, perhaps drop by a dealer and take a test drive. While your roads may not be good, as above, Toronto's roads are the ships here too.
I thought my H&R lowered C2S was terrible in the city tectonic streets. But where it shined was the highway and northern roads. To me, its not the suspension set up I disliked, it was the roads. I would drive your new car for a few more weeks before pulling the trigger on changing stuff around.
Keep hot liquids out of the drink holder.

Yes thank you I did drive the regular springs in a 2011 C2 and it was nothing like this. Now with 2500miles in 10 weeks and 2 auto crosses I am sure I will miss the sports springs on occasion especially as I plan to continue auto crossing at least for this season. But point taken perhaps I should at least keep the sports springs incase.
Roads here in northern California for me are 50/50 smooth highways and uneven but nicely curved side roads. I have 4-1/4" clearance under the front lift points and 4-1/2" in the rear I am constantly scraping driveways but it's the rough ride that bothers me the most.
You can autocross with any spring set up. You just need to adjust your aggressiveness to your set up. Read... smooth.
I'm sure all your pricing is based on full retail on new dealer parts. I'm sure you can find, as above, a fine set of used springs. They are sitting on someone shelf. I too have some reg spring sitting on my shelf. I have tried selling them a couple of times. For the $15o dollars I was asking, nobody would show up. And not worth the shipping out to you.
Oh the problems we have.
But the springs match the colour of your car! New one's are going to clash. Have you considered that?
Maybe you can only take your car out in the darkness of night.
