RedDog,
Do a archive search on the 993 board, supension has been beaten to death there. While you dont have a 993, I think you will find some useful info on the past threads. I dont think you can get low and firm without giving up some comfort. Also, dont do "just springs" as they are only part of the soulution (looks). I am installing a set of Bilstien PSS9's and having the car lowered to RS spec and expect to suffer a bit for this setup with the great roads here in Chicago. I dont know if Bilstien makes them for the 996 yet...

RedDog,
I have the Bilstein/Hr setup on my 996 Coupe.
The ride is still good.Also lowered the car.

Although a more expensive solution (although your Turbo was not cheap either), another possibility might be a new springs with true adjustable shocks such as Penske, Ohlins, Dynamic, Moton or JRZ. Using such shocks, you could adjust your ride to better fit the street or the track. On the other hand, simply putting the ROW Turbo sport suspension might be easier and well matched.
