Im looking to put springs on my 08' Turbo. all i see is H&R or Eibach pro kit spring-set and EIbach pro kit lowering springs. which are better ?

 

I don't have first hand experience with the products you are discussing- but I have GMG springs in my 997.1TT- I love them and highly recommend them.

 

H&Rs always look just a little too low to me. I have sometimes heard of them sagging after a few years as well, but plenty of people love them.

 

GMG on mine - haven’t sagged in 6 years/60k kms.

 

If I remember right, GMG are basically rebranded Eibachs, right?

 

that is what they explain on their website.
GMG springs manufactured by Eibach from GMG spec.

 

Sharkwerks like Techart

 

I got Eibachs because they lowered the least. .8 vs 1.0 I believe.

 

Put Eibach pro-kit springs on my 2010 TT cab about a month ago and the drop is perfect, about one finger width between the tire and fender all the way around. For the 997 turbos Eibach has a different PN for the coupe and cab so make sure you get the right one if you go that route. The suspension is a little stiffer but not objectionable at all.

 

I have H&R and they've settled or sagged whatever you want to call it but still work fine after 5 years the ride height is 997 RSR but if careful you only lightly scrape the front lower valance. Anyone know the difference in spring rates between-:

Eibach Pro
Eibach GMG
H&R
C4 GTS - 20mm
OEM springs

I may just stick the stock springs back on and compare. 4x4 ride height doesn't bother me roads here so very crap. B16 Damptronic the other option which Bilstein UK have offered me a fantastic price on But I may leave the Porsche fold next year after 25 consecutive years of Porsche ownership to try something completely different. But every time I get in the driving seat and take her out for a drive for a car made in 2007 this thing still a tech marvel to me. It makes going fast feel so normal

 

This was a few months after install of H&R -20mm



This was taken 4 years after install of H&R and you can see H&Rs have clearly sagged. Drives amazingly well on them you'd expect to be bottoming out everywhere but on fast a roads and motorways fine. Even on b roads fine as long as you're not going mad but if you go too hard and road bumpy I have no doubt shed bottom out. Look how low she's is

Wheels are BBS F1 with Cup 2 245 and 325 sizes. No rubbing whatsoever on road and track.

 

what wheels are those? Do you know the weight & are the rears 12” or 11”

 

Weight is roughly F-20lb and R-22lb.
11" - They retain OEM width so the OEM tire size doesn't look stretched.

Wheels were made to my own and uncommon I believe specs which I describe in this thread (look for post #4):

I installed Eibach Pro along with Bilstein B8.

Also have spacers. I think this way it still looks stock more or less.




IMO, installing only springs somewhat cheapens the car....

 

Guy called my car cheap. Messed up.
