Lowered and spacers

I thought I would start a new thread vs. burying this in another. I just had 7mm front and 15mm rear H&R spacers installed along with H&R progressive springs.


It rides great and looks like it should have from the factory. I did get a steering wheel error that was cured by turning the wheel lock to lock 4-5x.

You are inspiring me to do these mods sir!

I really like how the drop is nice and even, front to back, something that is extremely important to my OCD. Did you choose H&R for that reason over GMG and Techart? Thanks for sharing

Go for it you won't be disappointed.

H&R seems to be the standard others are judged by and they have great reviews so for me it was a simple decision.

Looks great! I always use H&R as well and find them to be less "harsh" then any other brand I have ever tried. I was going to use spacers but bought wheels instead and am scared to lower my car since it has PCCS, PASM, Etc.

Enjoy it though it looks great. I will look for it next Wednesday as I am passing thru VA on my way to MD from FL.

How does it behave with street bumps?

How many mm did you lower it?

Looks great!

It is lowered about .75" but I think once it settles it might be a tad bit lower. I didn't take before and after measurements.

As far as bumps I am cognizant as to what I am driving over so I take it slow when I see bumps in the road. I have no issue pulling out of my driveway or slowly driving over speed bumps. I think it is the prefect compromise.

As far as looks the pics don't do it justice,it is so much more aggressive looking in person.

The drop and offsets look great. Did you get it aligned?

Yes and dialed out some of the under steer but still close to factory specs.

Car looks great, but you need to replace your orange side markers with Porsche OEM Clear LED side markers. They will really make your black 991 POP....
