GTS vs T: Height Difference (Steel PASM)
#16
#17
I believe that the GTS models are equipped with an "Adaptive Air Suspension", not springs. Also, the height of the GTS in its normal setting is 62.8 inches. In its lowered setting it is 10mm lower still. (10mm = approx. 0.4 inches)

The key difference is air suspension. All US spec Macan GTS get air suspension standard. Optioning air suspension on the T would have gotten the same ride height. Now you will have to go aftermarket to achieve that with lowering springs.

Eibach discontinued PASM version and KW HAS and HR are only options for PASM in US.
I hear about 50% good/50% bad with H&R but didn't find any feedback on KW HAS.

Yeah, it looks like that the only option. Just need to find something that is about 1" lower but not losing comfort from stock.

You can buy the GTS springs, not all are air ouside of North America, but as discussed above, its likely easier and more effective to go with an aftermarket spring.

Found some 03# on google shopping but most of them being direct ship guys, they can't sell since it's discontinued from Eibach.
I def. prefere Eibach over others with back previous experience and very subtle nice drops. Do you mind posting some pics of your drops?

I'm trying but no one has 03-22 part# that designed for 2.0T with Elec Damping cars. They all have either 04 (GTS + PASM) or 02 (all without PASM).

The first three are mine on 21's and two on 20's then the last is someone on MacanForum with a Turbo who installed the PASM versions.

The part # for the 2.0T is irrelevant, I wouldn't chase it. If you went with H&R, KW or TechArt, there would be no designation between the engines.

Thanks for sharing pics. Is that GTS wheel replica on the last one from your car? your wheel gaps look perfect on this one with 20s. And which color center cap did you buy to match with that wheels? did you have 02 part# or 04 part# on yours? And the last Turbo, is that with 04 part#? That's the wheel gaps I'm looking for without sacrificing the comfort from stock (that's always the case with Eibach from my previous experiences).
Mine is 02, non-PASM. The turbo is with 04 and the end-user reported a very comfortable ride, as I have heard from all Eibach installs on the forums.

Good luck. If you don't find them, the 04-22 should be fine. My front and rear heights are just about the same and the front isn't lifted due to the lighter weight. I would be interested to know your current fender height though because the T may already be a little lower than the standard springs, which would reduce the overal before vs. after height adjustment.
F 32.25"
R 32.75"
How's yours with Eibach?

Wierd, I thought I responded yesterday. Thats about where mine was prior and now its about 31.5" with some corners slightly lower. Just about an inch of lowering all around. I dosen't seem like much but even a few mm can make a difference. I just installed a set of 15mm spacers and that 5mm over the 10mm set is truly noticeable.
