Looking to lower my car and put 21's on
 

Any suggestions on a brand of springs you've had a good experience with? Ideally I'm looking for it to ride as close to stock as possible. Pics would be much appreciated too!

We have had great results with the GMG Racing Lowering Springs -- which are made by Eibach USA to the exact specifications from GMG. Right about a 1.1 inch drop from factory all around, with a progressive spring design for excellent ride quality.

Another option is H&R -- which the drop would be about the same at 1.1 inches front and rear.

Is this car lowered?

Stock ride height...for comparisons sake-

Thanks Supreme!

Lowered looks so much better. But with NYC's crappy roads I am glad mine is stock.

Here are a few examples for you:

Great compilation of some of the best HRE and ADV1 wheels for the 991. Very nice.

I opted for the ADV005 track spec CS which is not pictured here. But alas living in NYC I stuck with 20s and no lowering.

No question about the looks of lowering. Way better lowered. Even if the ride characteristics don't change much my concern is that 1.1" lower, or .75", which I think is also available, will be a major problem at driveway entrances and such. The GT3 is one inch lower than the TTS, but the axle lift is helpful. Of course, the GT3 has a somewhat longer front fascia so I am not sure what the clearance is at the very front of the spoiler with axle lift activated. Ground clearance of a lowered TTS could become a problem given the apparent fragility of the rubber spoiler. An inch lower with MPSC tires would be a good track setup for the TTS, but for the other 99% of the time might be tough to live with. Would be good to know what the lateral grip difference is for a lowered TTS vs stock.

A $6,000 alternative.

Plus a lot of labor.

It is an excellent option especially for lowered cars. If price was no object I'd have it already

Do it.
 

Why in the world would you want to do that? hilarious

Check out my mods and pictures on my initial turbo post. Love it and a stock height car now looks like a jacked-up 4x4 to me. Ride quality on my car is great. Only concern is rubber band tires on crappy roads. Still worth it though, just be careful.

Trying to post a link to my post.

Thanks for all the input guys!

Your car looks amazing, and I was leaning towards the techart springs so I'm glad you think the ride on them is great.

RobRob- Sent ya a PM..Thanks!
