Default Fister/ Sharkwerks 997.2

I had the sharkwerks bipass and the Fister cans installed on my manual transmission 997.2 this week. That is an outstanding mod and Darin is awesome to deal with!

On to the next mod...I was thinking of doing the Techart lowering springs and a set of spacers. Anything else I should have the shop do while they are making that change? All street driving..no track.

Also, I am thinking of a set of HRE FF01s in satin bronze (the car is Atlas Grey) later in the year. Thoughts?

Get the Eibach lowering springs instead of TechArt. They are exactly the same springs but the Eibachs cost 50% less.

Agree on eibach (or H&R) vs techart. And get a little more aggressive alignment as u will need an alignment anyways

Eibach makes the springs for TechArt, but they have a different height and spring rate. TechArt will not disclose the spring rates as they consider it proprietary information, but there is a difference. For cars with PASM I feel like the TechArt spring is perfect. It's not harsh or bouncy and the car sits perfectly.

This is what I imagined the difference to be. I'm sure the techart is very well thought out, but justifying the price difference (2x) of a spring out of the same factory is hard to do.
