Default WANTED: 997 Turbo Lowering Springs.

Looking for lowering springs for my 2008 Turbo. Just trying to pay a little less than retail. Mainly looking for Eibach or GMG but I'm open to others.

Strongly recommend Eibach springs for the 997TT over H&R.. Less sagging over time (two years)

Go to the Tire Rack or Summit and price shop.

I had a set of eibachs on my turbo they were great

Be advised that if you go that route and add Michelin cup 2 tires the ride becomes very jarring and unstable at speeds over 100 on windy backroads

I had to switch to ohlins to alleviate this issue

I could have just reverted back to Michelin super sport with softer side walls although when hot the cup 2 are far grippier

Didn't someone here recently discover some OEM 997 C4 GTS springs that work on the Turbos? They were an option on the cars in Europe or some such.

If so that's cool to stick with oem parts

Eibach are good just use them with a more street going tire not a cup 2 or nitto

I think someone even posted a screenshot of the part numbers in the thread. It was just within the last 2-3 months. The gist was that it was an uncommon factory option and lowers the car a couple centimeters.
