Looks great. Hows the ride with the Eibachs compared to stock?

I bought the car with Pilot Sports, took a HPDE class which I had to buy new rubber after the class. I choose Hankooks based on price and performance. Hankooks have a much smoother ride then the PS’s. By installing the Eibach’s the car feels like I’m back on PS’s. So the ride is good, car feels real stable, corners are great yet I don’t get the teeth rattling from stiffer springs. And the most important I have not discovered any new rattles/car noise. Love the upgrade.
One question I have is how will the DSC controller effect the ride?

The Eibach's have a nice subtle drop. Are you scrapping more now? Is there only one version of the Eibach's for the 997TT?

I'm on stock suspension but absolutely love the change the DSC made...I think you will as well.

so honest engine, dropping the car .500 to .650 I wasn’t concerned about scraping the front lip. However I was surprised, I can’t get out of the drive way without scraping. So I’m going to put up with the scrapping and use sandpaper to smooth out the scars.
my future thoughts would be going from 18’s to 19 or 20” wheels.
