In 2008 or so I would push lowering springs on the stock units, but now these cars are 10yrs old, I think just adding springs to oem dampeners will just hasten their failure. I'd recommend the B8s bc they are designed for lowering springs, originally designed for porsche tequipment as the 997 version of the old 996 x73.

Just ordered up some Eibachs. Already have the DSC controller which was a great upgrade in itself.

I had X73 on my 996 turbo, which consisted of Bilstein dampers, Porsche springs, and 964 RS motor mounts. Loved it.
Bilstein B8s + springs + mounts + DSC + rear bar should be on par or better especially since the existing is now 10 years old.

I never bought them and regret not doing it. Much better design than OEM. The OEM’s have the wire exiting thru a bore thru the main bolt. Weak point since it’s not solid like the B8’s. Maybe in the distant future, I might just go thru the headache again. A freaking nightmare removing that stuff. I rather remove the engine then do that again. What’s the cost of a set, I forgot?

I find this ride height perfect and there is no bottoming out on our roads in Monterey.
I have H&R springs on my 08 tt and the ride height in perfect. The ride quality is actually softer that what I expected from reading people's comments. Darin Fister did the installation and alignment. There were issues and the car now looks and handles as it should. I also have H&R springs on my 98 C2S and 91 964 and have no issues with sag or quality over the years.

Do you have any more pictures you could post?
Looking for black with OEM wheels like yours
Nice!
