Anyone??

I've asked around if the GTS/SPASM springs pit our cars (because I want a small drop, not a big one).

So far no answer, so right now the TechArts appear to have the smallest specified drop from among the aftermarket springs (and that's not an insignificant drop).

That's a good question. The gts has the ideal stance imo.

I wonder if it will work with the factory lift kit or are we stuck with stock Springs if we ordered with the lift kit?

I also have the techart springs and love/hate them! I love the way the car looks, however, with what I'm trying to achieve, I need taller tires which I can't do unless I go back to the OEM springs...

My .02 cents = don't go with H&R or GMG. I'm running GMG so i know first hand. The car rides pretty harsh compared to stock but more importantly it rubs A LOT. I

I'm ordering a euro spec Eibach springs that have a 10mm-20mm drop. Much less aggressive and keeps the car looking classy while closing the wheel gaps. If you'd like however, i can sell you my GMG's that are less aggressive than H&R by 2mm for $350.

This is what I have on my 997.2 and love it. Please post a link or part # for the 991 turbo. Thanks!!
