Default Lowering 991 Targa Need Advice ?

Hey guys has anyone lowered there 991 Targa's on either lowering springs or coilovers ? I was just going to pull the trigger on some H&R springs but thought I should ask around first and get some input. The car has PASM. Appreciate any help. Below is a pic of the car.

I don't have a targa but I went with techart since they seem to have model specific springs (cab, coupe, 2, 4 etc).

I would look into them and see if they have anything specific for your car. Mine ride very similar to stock and the drop is not as aggressive as H&R but pretty low as is. I think they might cost a bit more though.

My car PASM + H&R Springs. I also have H&R 7MM spacers all the way around.

Should look similar on yours.

Default Lowering springs

I think for springs your options are tech art or h&r. I went with tech art since they retain a more factory look that would be similar to S-PASM. If you want a more aggressive drop, go h&r. I sometimes wish I went with h&r, but I think tech art is the better choice since I don't want to scrap my front end everywhere. Tech art also provides a great ride which improves the already capable 991 suspension.

I was concerned before I purchase the H&R about scraping but I've had no issue. It's not "stupid low" like their sport springs for the BMW M4 and Golf R etc are.

I have a set of H&R for sell, I only use it for 2 months, and I got a hold of coilover. I also have spacer to give you that flushed look as I order a custom set of wheels. PM me if you interested.

I scrape my spasm lip on some driveways with the techart springs.

Im sure if I had H&R it would be worse.

i think this depends on the roads where you live.

H&R should be the lowest out of all the spring that is available. I'm coilover, I scrape everywhere I go, but its a cheap part can be replaced, but u get that stance

Shoot me a price shipped to Jacksonville, FL for springs + spacers ? I am leaning toward the H&R springs for the more aggressive ride height.
