Lowered from SPASM - 7/8” front and -1/2” rear on Bilstein EVO coil overs. Handling and ride quality in normal, sport and sport+ all improved over stock. Don’t get me wrong, even stock, the car never felt like it had great ride quality, but w/ Bilstein EVOs, it doesn’t feel like a lowered car as it seems to have pretty much the same suspension travel even when going over larger dips and bumps.
Would love an example of bilstein coilovers on a GTS with FAL and RAS. Is this a possible setup? Can't seem to get an answer. Thanks
I would assume that can be done b/c BIlstein EVO coilovers are available for the Turbo/S with and without FAL and I believe the GTS shares the same suspension as the Turbo so it should be fine. I'd reach out to @Staff@WORLD to see if they've installed these on a GTS since they've installed them on 992 Turbos and non-Turbos.
For all you guys who just lowered with springs......have you driven over 10k+miles on em yet? I'm interested in lowering my daily but not if the oem struts fail or wear out faster then a set of new tires ..
I'm assuming coilovers will last a lot longer ...?
For the guys with KW HAS how’s the ride compared to stock? I have a TTS and while I’d like to lower the car I’d like to maintain as close to stock ride feel as possible.

First of all, beautiful car!
I feel that ride quality is compromised with the KW HAS kit, at least on my Base model. I had H&R Springs on my 964, and did not notice as big a difference in ride quality with it as I have with my 992.
Would I do it again? Yes, but most likely will look into the Bilstein EVO coil overs when and if the time comes.
BTW, wife and I are 76 yrs old, and she's never complained once about the ride quality.......she's a keeper for sure!
