I put this together earlier last year in one of these posts... just dug it up. GTS is same for C2/S w/PASM. 4GTS is same for C4/S w/PASM. (4/GTS has PASM standard)

11-12 997.2 GTS:
Eibach - 7217.140 (from Eibach directly) - ~25mm drop from base GTS
TechArt - 097.200.100.009 (from Sharkwerks) - ~25mm drop from base GTS
H&R - 29188-1 (from H&R directly) - ~32mm drop from base GTS

11-12 997.2 4GTS:
Eibach - 7222.140 (from Eibach directly) - ~25mm drop from base 4GTS
TechArt - ?
H&R - 54097-2 (from H&R directly) 1 ~32mm drop from base 4GTS

Thanx for the part numbers.

25mm is about an inch (Eibach)
32mm is about an 1.25" (H&R)

Hmmmm, time to critique in the garage.....

Awesome. I just have to get mine lowered as it looks so much better than stock. What are the rims?

Those look like Ray's to me. Big in the Japenese import scene.

Nothing implied. I raced and tuned RX-7s for years and that was one of the wheels of choice. Lightweight wheels.

Thanks, so I take it your a fan of the brand. Usually when someone on here says "Japanese import scene" there's a slam coming after it

Big Mazda fan. Owned all three generations of RX-7 and a first gen Miata. Very fun cars. I can see how tone is lost on the Internet.

I was just pointing out that those are a very distinct Volks/Rays design so they are either Rays
Or a knockoff.

The wheels are RAYS VOLK RACING TE37 SL (Super Lap) - Porsche Fitment. Forged one piece aluminum wheel.

Very light rims i used them for trackdays only with Hoosier R8 Slicks.

Had an 83 RX7 myself. Drove it from Toronto to LA and back again (5 yrs later). Loved it

Like the look of the Volk/Rays but have always been partial to 5 spokes

Like them better than the last picture above
